Shopify creates new career tracks with even compensation for managers and ‘crafters’

By The Canadian Press on March 1, 2023.

OTTAWA – Shopify Inc. is revamping its staffing and compensation model.

The Ottawa-based e-commerce company says staff will now be split into two career tracks: managers and crafters.

Compensation levels will be equivalent regardless of whether someone chooses to be a manager or a crafter.

Shopify says the model will reward people for the impact they make on the company regardless of whether they are a manager or not.

It adds the model bucks trends that saw companies only succeed at incentivizing and rewarding managers because crafters will now have just as rich a career progression.

Shopify’s moves come after it began giving staff a “total rewards wallet” last year that allows them to choose between cash and stock options for their compensation.
