We believe car buying should be fun, fair, and accessible to everyone. We've set out to transform an industry, using technology to bring transparency and convenience to the car buying process.

And we aren't stopping there. We seek to bring that same openness and simplicity to car ownership too, with payments, maintenance, and insurance in one easy app. At SHIFT, we're building the tools that empower people to buy, own, and sell the cars that make life go. We've recently entered the public markets (Nasdaq: SFT) and are experiencing rapid growth. This is a great opportunity to join a hyper growth company changing an industry!

• A great attitude. We want someone who brings great energy to the team and the office!
• Willingness to do a range of things. This job is by definition non-specialized and we want someone who is looking to do different things.
• Know what makes people tick - there will be a diverse set of people in the office, you'll need to be able to read the pulse of the room and be proactive in suggesting changes should the vibe be off.
• Prior experience with office needs is great, though we are open to all candidates if you can prove to us that you can handle the heat!

At Shift, we're all about growth - which means people who are eager to grow, who are ready to roll up their sleeves and learn new things. We were founded by a scrappy group of visionaries who were by no means "car experts" - so we don't expect you to be one, either! We'll take the open-minded go-getter over the pure subject matter expert any day. In that spirit, we also care about building a diverse and inclusive workplace and company. To put it simply, cars are meant for everyone, so we believe our company should be, too. We never discriminate against any candidate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, religion, color, national origin, marital status, veteran status or disability status. We welcome and encourage people of all backgrounds and walks of life to apply, even if you're unsure if you meet all the requirements. (Even if this particular role isn't the right fit, chances are we will have the right one soon!)

Having gone public in October 2020, we are at the beginning of our journey and hope you join us for the ride!
