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 supply leader is to build and grow the Shiftsmart ecosystem by both recruiting enough partners to fill shifts for our customers and retaining and growing the best partners through loyalty and retention programs. The successful supply leader will thrive in three areas - growing supply in new markets, improving the platform and the offering to increase loyalty and retention, and using their knowledge to inform the direction of company growth.
For supply growth in new markets, this leader will own all execution from marketing and app downloading through ensuring partners fill their first shift (acquisition, orientation, live support). In addition, this leader will continuously improve retention and loyalty programs over time to increase lifetime value of existing partners.
This leader will also be critical in informing where and how the company grows through their role in attracting partners to the platform. He or she will manage a team and own the operational execution and ongoing updates of the Shiftsmart app to deliver these outcomes.
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 continue to evolve over time but your main responsibilities initially will be to 1) achieve targets for adding partners and 2) improve the platform to enhance the loyalty and retention of partners. You will manage your team to do this by:
Setting and achieving the daily, weekly, and monthly targets for partners downloading the app, being oriented, and filling their first shift
Working closely with the engineering team to improve the Shiftsmart platform to encourage loyalty and retention of Shiftsmart partners
Managing the digital acquisition team to ensure enough partners are entering the ecosystem
Managing the orientation team to ensure sufficient qualified workers are ready for a shift by executing orientations (in person and remote) and overseeing a live shift support system to increase partner success during first shift
Creating and executing strategies to ensure maximum reasonable fill rates while managing to a specific budget
Continue to develop new and better ways to use the platform to attract and retain quality partners
Manage employees in their use of analytical tools like Google Sheets, SQL, and additional resources to gather and analyze data to develop insights and inform decisions
Analyze outcomes, often daily, and triage issues, taking action where possible and escalating when required
Competencies: Who you are
Do you have what it takes to acquire new partners successfully and fundamentally change labor? Here are the attributes you’ll need:
Self-starter: 8+ 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 required quota of new partners graduating into the regular supply base on a daily or weekly basis. You will be required to flexibly adapt and manage to outcomes even when situations change and circumstances evolve.
People manager: You will manage a team, helping them prioritize and execute and working side-by-side with them as need to achieve the company’s outcomes.
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.
If an employer mentions a salary or salary range on their job, we display it as an "Employer Estimate". If a job has no salary data, Rise displays an estimate if available.
