Work environment
The Competition Bureau of Canada’s Mergers and Monopolistic Practices Branch is always looking for interested and engaged people to join our team of Competition Law Officers. The Bureau offers rewarding and interesting careers in an agency with an important economic mandate that directly impacts consumers and businesses in virtually all industries across Canada. Competition Law Officers work at the intersection of law and economics.

As an independent enforcement agency, our teams work with Department of Justice lawyers to bring cases to Canada’s Competition Tribunal or to address any competition concerns voluntarily with parties. Officers can expect to get a vast range of experiences in their work. This includes conducting interviews of senior business people, gathering information through requests for information and research, assessing evidence and conducting economic analysis, negotiating with outside parties, briefing and making recommendations to senior managers, and in some cases supporting the Bureau’s litigation before the courts. We are looking for people who work well in teams and who enjoy gathering facts from numerous sources in order to make the best assessment of potential competition issues. While law and economics are a core part of the Bureau’s work, backgrounds involving industry experience, technical expertise, and business acumen would also help advance the Bureau’s work.

It takes a whole team of dedicated lawyers working behind the scenes to help Shopify create a platform that makes commerce better for everyone. Lawyers on our team must be able to apply their knowledge and experience to novel scenarios to provide the best advice possible in a way that allows Shopify’s business to stay agile and competitive. Every person on our team is committed to making commerce better for everyone, and it truly shows.
In this role, you will report to our Director, Associate General Counsel, Payments and Financial Services, supporting the Shopify Financial Solutions (Money) Product line. The Money team is responsible for all systems that move money between Shopify, our merchants and their buyers, and Shopify Partners. This includes payment processing, billing, capital advances, account balances and evaluating risk. Money matters. A lot. This role will have you providing legal support in areas that are absolutely critical to the success of every participant in the Shopify ecosystem.
About You
To succeed in this position you will need solid commercial skills, communication skills, the ability to collaborate and work well with others, common sense and grit -- all of which provide you with the ability to extrapolate into new areas of law or new geographies using a combination of your existing knowledge, great instincts, and strong research skills. You will also have strong negotiating and drafting skills on a variety of different types of agreements. You will be able to synthesize and analyze volumes of information from a variety of sources and come to a business-focused solution. You can quickly re-calibrate, iterate or pivot when faced with new information or changing circumstances.
Success on the Shopify legal team more broadly requires intellect, passion, hard work, humility and a sense of humor. You need to take the work seriously, but not take yourself too seriously. You also need to be comfortable with being uncomfortable, really connect with people, and enjoy working as a team player.
A few things you will need:
A J.D. or LL.B
Strong commercial drafting skills
Relevant legal experience, ideally having started out at a law firm, followed by in-house experience, preferably in the finance or banking space
Interest in financial services
Strong legal and interpersonal skills
History working with cross functional teams from engineering to finance to sales and beyond
Experience providing legal counsel on new product developments, including negotiating, drafting and reviewing commercial agreements, drafting terms of service and related policies
Experience leading projects and managing multiple priorities, stakeholders and deadlines
Experience managing external legal counsel, including in international jurisdictions
We look forward to receiving your application! Please include a cover letter and address it to Jodi Golinsky, Associate General Counsel. She’s looking forward to reading your application and finding someone amazing to join her team.
Please note that this posting will close on July 5th at 5pm EDT.

“We need to raise a few hundred million in an equity offering by end of day tomorrow, that’s doable, right?”
“We’re looking at acquiring a company in Sweden, hoping to close end of next week.”
“The Marketing team needs a legal review of their new ad campaign today please.”
“We need a new production agreement for the Studios team, they want to start filming this month.”
The corporate/securities lawyer we seek must be able to juggle competing priorities, be equally adept at playing a lead (or even solo) role on some projects and a supporting role on others, and be able to apply their skills, knowledge and experience to provide user-friendly advice in a collaborative and easy-to-understand way. Making commerce better for everyone is amazing work but super-challenging!
Supporting a variety of teams while working on projects with immoveable deadlines (hello Q2 filings!) is not easy. You should expect to encounter issues you couldn’t dream up if you tried. This work is varied and constantly evolving. That said, practicing at the top of your game with an incredibly smart and highly-engaged team is very fulfilling, and we can guarantee that your work at Shopify will never be boring.
This role will involve:
drafting our Annual Information Form and Management Information Circular, reviewing interim and annual financials and press releases, and preparing for our Annual General Meeting - working with our Finance and Investor Relations teams
managing the legal aspects of acquisitions - working with our Corporate Development team and other members of our Legal team
working on various securities, corporate and governance projects and issues - working with other members of our Legal and Finance teams
advising on corporate communications and brand matters, reviewing press releases and reviewing a wide variety of marketing and entertainment agreements - working with our Public Relations, Marketing and Studios teams
The right person for this role will:
be a mid-level corporate/securities lawyer with experience for public capital markets transactions and private M&A as well as some experience drafting and reviewing commercial agreements, extra points for in-house and/or marketing or entertainment law experience but definitely not a dealbreaker if not
be an effective and confident communicator - dealing with different teams as a support function means having different strategies to be able to effectively provide counsel
be a master at triage and prioritization, able to quickly pivot from providing legal advice on the fly, to reviewing communications, to negotiating acquisitions, to drafting disclosure docs, and back again
have humility and a sense of humour - take their work seriously, but not take themselves too seriously
have a growth mindset, be willing to learn new things and work on new projects, be comfortable with being uncomfortable, have an entrepreneurial bent and enjoy finding new ways to get involved and add value
be able to work with many different types of personalities, adept at developing relationships with the clients they serve, and enjoy working as a team player
be self-directed, able to get things done both on their own and working with others, and able to keep a variety of stakeholders organized and focused
have a J.D. or LL.B and be licensed to practice law in Ontario
We know that applying to a new role takes a lot of work and we truly value your time. Experience comes in many forms, many skills are transferable, and passion goes a long way. If you have any other legal or other super powers (or ideas for our next Halloween group costume), please tell us about them in your cover letter!
Please address your cover letter to Erin Zipes, Vice President, Assistant General Counsel. She’s looking forward to reading your application and finding someone amazing to work with.
