Why Shiftsmart

We’re building the Amazon of labor. We’re a labor platform pairing end-to-end workforce management technology with a rapidly growing global network of 4M flexible workers (ranked #3 in the App Store) to create scalable labor solutions for the largest companies and government agencies in the world like Walmart, PepsiCo, Starbucks, and Circle K. Our unique business model fractionalizes jobs down to shifts and makes it easy for workers to work across multiple employers through a digital marketplace. We’re one of the fastest-growing scaleups in the country. We’ve grown 2-3x each year since we started and raised $120M+ from top-tier investors including D1 Capital & Imaginary Ventures…and we’re only getting started.

Mission: What we do and why we need you

The mission of the Marketplace specialist is to help us successfully deliver high-quality fulfillment for newly launched customers. The early stages of a deal launch are the most critical in ability to prove quality and execution for our customers. The Marketplace specialist will be responsible for ensuring we deliver on this promise for specific regions across customers.

This role is based in New York City (HQ) with typically 3+ days in office and up to ~15% travel required.

Outcomes: What problems you will solve

Your role will evolve over time but some of your early responsibilities will include:

• Owning the marketplace targets for launch deals to ensure high-quality fulfillment for our customers

• Execute a combination of scaled tactics such as onboarding campaigns, marketplace analytics, and bonuses/ incentives, as well as hands-on tactics such as assisted partner conversion and targeted bonuses to deliver 100% fill rate on newly launched deals

• Use tools like Google Sheets, SQL, and additional resources to gather and analyze data to develop insights and inform decisions

• Monitor and triage in-shift issues, taking action where possible and escalating when required

Competencies: Who you are

Do you have what it takes to launch pilots successfully and fundamentally change labor? Here are the attributes you’ll need:

• Self-starter: You are a recent graduate to 2+ years of experience with the potential, motivation and ambition to grow and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

• Results driven: Takes pride in and has a track record of hitting or exceeding targets; persists in accomplishing objectives despite obstacles or setbacks. Success will be measured against the % of regions where we are delivering the target number of high-reliability partners. You will be provided the tools and reporting to manage to this outcome.

• Problem solver: You thrive working through and solving problems, quickly learn and adapt to new situations, and can synthesize the abstract into the concrete.

• Highly organized: You plan, organize and execute in a highly structured way and relish bringing formality to ambiguity, ruthlessly prioritize, and feel organization is second nature to you.

• Independent: Able to function with a high-level of autonomy once given a playbook.

Operating Principles @ Shiftsmart

Inspired by Leadership Principles @ Amazon

Execution Is Binary

We #GetShiftDone. We take immense pride in both the quality of our work and our relentless determination to deliver on our commitments. If we say we are going to do something, we do it.

We own the outcome with an unstoppable mindset through the finish line and are impatient to move the ball forward. This means we work really hard, execute with urgency, and ruthlessly challenge timelines for anything important. As a result, we do not defer responsibility to other teams or individuals. Instead, we take the problem as far as we can and only when needed ask others for help.

Each time a crisis or opportunity emerges we take the hill as one team, because we are allergic to the words “it can’t be done”.

Missionaries, Not Mercenaries

We before me. We believe in our mission to build a better world for workers. We understand why our work matters and take seriously how it impacts our customers and our partners. This belief permeates everything we do from the strategic to the mundane.

We are energetic, ambitious, and want to win. We constantly raise the standards for ourselves and everyone around us. We show up for our customers, our partners, and most importantly our teammates, and make every effort to build lasting relationships with each of them.

We do not measure success based on our titles or the size of our empires. This also means we put the needs of the business before the details of our job descriptions. Rather than fight for a bigger piece of the pie, we fight to grow the entire thing and recognize this is how to grow our careers too.

Inputs > Outcomes

We work really hard. Fundamentally changing how labor works is not easy. It often requires long days, late nights, and weekends to deliver on our commitments. We lean into this challenge.

We focus on the process. We think in terms of value chains and appreciate that a bad process with a good outcome is simply dumb luck.

We lead with data. We use facts, not fiction, to build narratives and make decisions. To do this we prepare written memos in advance and resist the urge to engage in endless water cooler what ifs, because we value the time and attention of our teammates.

We hire and develop the best. When we decide to hire a new team member, we do so because we believe they will increase the talent density on our team. We view ourselves as leverage maximizers rather than inconvenience reducers and strive to increase the output of everyone we interact with.

Honesty Over Harmony

We share the truth even when it is painful. We do not, however, share the truth callously to hurt people’s feelings or make them look bad. We also assume positive intent. If someone is not delivering in a way that we need, we ask them and tell them before assuming the worst.

We embrace mutual feedback. As people leaders we care more about our team’s growth and success than how much others like us. As individuals we seek, accept, and apply feedback. We do not give or take feedback personally because we understand it enables us to learn and grow.

We tell the truth to ourselves. We reject a pollyannaish view of our world. Instead if something isn’t going well that we are responsible for, we call it out. And when someone calls out their own truth that may be less optimal, we don’t punish them for it.

We have the meeting in the meeting. If something is broken or we disagree, we call it out and say something in the moment even if it feels uncomfortable to do so. This means that if something is broken, we do not just accept it and complain later.

Invent & Iterate

We are inventors @ heart. We categorically reject the phrase “that is how it’s always been done”, and constantly discover new and better ways to do more with less. This means we are resourceful and often do things that don’t scale, only to create ways to scale them later. We’re builders.

We think BIG. At every level of the company, we embrace big, hairy, audacious, and transformative goals. We fear lack of progress and incremental thinking more than failing to deliver or falling short of an audacious goal. We believe courage means to try without fear and learn without ego.

We do not let perfect get in the way of better. When faced with the choice we prioritize delivering something, even if imperfect, over endless debate and alignment. We embrace good mistakes.
