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 5M flexible workers to create scalable labor solutions for the largest companies and government agencies in the world like Circle K, Pepsi, Walmart, Starbucks and more. Our unique business model fractionalizes jobs down to shifts and makes it easy for workers to work across multiple companies through a digital marketplace. We're one of the fastest-growing startups in the country. We've grown 2-3x each year since we started, paid over $130M in wages to hourly workers, and raised $120M+ from top-tier investors including D1 Capital & Imaginary Ventures and we're only getting started.

Our mission is to build the world's leading platform for hourly workers and enterprises enabling flexibility, choice, and upward social mobility.

Mission

The mission of the payments and support team is to ensure that our partners have the greatest possible experience on our platform. The team works closely with partners in product, engineering, operations, and growth to not only solve pressing partner issues and challenges, but identify those challenges at their source and solve them. Utilizing data analysis and deep relationships with our workers as well as cross functional teams, this group is responsible for ensuring every partner is paid on time and has a positive working relationship with our application.

This role is based in New York City (HQ) with typically 4+ days in office.

Outcomes

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

• Running and Improving our Payment Process : Identify the indicators of a successfully worked shift in order to build a decision tree that leads to high confidence payments decisions; iterate on that process based on new data inputs
• Drive Higher Confidence Approvals : Work with product, supply, and marketplace teams to remediate checks that our partners are consistently failing during their shifts
• Build and Operate our Partner Support Infrastructure : Run a partner-focused support practice designed to identify and correct issues ahead of payment process
• Improve the Partner Experience : Create a feedback loop from partner support data to product, orientation, supply, and marketplace teams in order to alleviate common issues and reduce the incidence of support outreach

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.

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.
