Lead Product Manager - International Privacy (Remote, EMEA/Americas)

About Shopify

Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. Since 2006, we’ve grown to over 10,000 employees and generated over $500 billion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries. Every 28 seconds, an entrepreneur on Shopify makes their first sale.

This is life-defining work that directly impacts people’s lives as much as it transforms your own. This is putting the power of the few in the hands of the many, is a future with more voices rather than fewer, and is creating more choices instead of an elite option.

About you

Moving at our pace brings a lot of change, complexity, and ambiguity—and a little bit of chaos. Shopifolk thrive on that and are comfortable being uncomfortable. That means Shopify is not the right place for everyone.

Before you apply, consider if you can:

• Care deeply about what you do and about making commerce better for everyone
• Excel by seeking professional and personal hypergrowth
• Keep up with an unrelenting pace (the week, not the quarter)
• Be resilient and resourceful in face of ambiguity and thrive on (rather than endure) change
• Bring critical thought and opinion — and embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
• Work digital-first for your daily work

Product leadership at Shopify is a central role that you will bring your technical product craft expertise and people leadership skills to every day. You’ll work with Engineering, UX, and other cross-functional teams to decide what products we build to solve complex merchant problems. Product Leads take a player-coach position to unite all aspects of a product under a single, cohesive vision. They are curious, passionate, and entrepreneurial. They have founded their own companies, have deep technical expertise, launched successful products, and established a track record of getting things done at scale.

This Lead Product Manager will be partnering with engineering teams working in the space of privacy regulations and compliance, with a particular focus on the European market. The main objective is to unify the engineering teams involved in this space, and build/extend the roadmap for Shopify and Merchant privacy.

You could be who we are searching for if you have:

• Experience as a Product Lead or Principal/Senior Product Manager at modern tech, consumer-facing app, and/or SaaS companies
• Experience leading the definition, building, and shipping of complex technical products at scale
• Experience creating long-term product strategy and defining success metrics for your product areas
• Experience collaborating with and inspiring engineering, data, UX, and other teams to create compelling technical patterns, design systems, and shared features
• Genuine user empathy and passion for solving their most complex problems with the products you ship
• Skills to drive ‘build, partner, or acquire’ decisions for your product area.
• ​​​​​​Experience providing feedback and inputs in technical and architectural design 
• The ability to distill technical concepts to business users and vice versa
• An entrepreneurial mindset - you must be comfortable rolling up your sleeves, thriving in ambiguity, and getting the work done
• A talent for storytelling. Experience influencing key technical and non-technical stakeholders, driving buy-in for your ideas, and telling exceptional stories around why and what product you are building

It would be nice if you have:

• Experience working in privacy, compliance, or heavily regulated industries (or understanding of the privacy landscape) 
• Experience with infrastructure
• Experience with APIs, SDKs, and/or building for developers or developer platforms
• Computer Science or other technical post-secondary education 
• Experience building and shipping products in the ecommerce space
• Founder or tech start-up experience

Our belief is that a strong commitment to diversity & inclusion enables us to truly make commerce better for everyone.
