Shopify's Apprentice Product Manager programme is open for applications, with the window closing on 10 November 2026. The 12-month apprenticeship is a route into product management for people who want to learn the job by doing it, rather than by studying it first.

Apprentices rotate through two product teams, working on real product problems with engineers, designers and data scientists, and are supported by a mentor, two product leads and a small cohort. The programme is remote by default, with intentional in-person moments that require travel to connect with the cohort and colleagues.

No degree or prior title required

Shopify states plainly that no degree or prior product manager title is required. The company says it looks for aptitude, judgement, curiosity and the perspective each applicant brings, and that the application is designed to reveal how candidates think rather than whether they already know every product-management framework.

The programme is described on Shopify's official page as an apprenticeship, not an internship and not a guaranteed shortcut, with a genuinely high bar and real expectations to learn fast, iterate fast and deliver results. No salary is stated on the programme page, so applicants should check the full listing before applying, and apply through the official page before the 10 November deadline.
