Company mission
Shiftsmart are on a mission to build the world’s leading platform for blue collar workers and transform the way that work, works.
Role
Who you are
- Analytically-minded: You have 2-5+ years experience in an analytical role (e.g. data analyst, bizops, business intelligence), and ideally in startups
- Technical skills: You have strong experience with SQL and an understanding of a scripting language like Python or R. Preferably experience with Git
- Problem solver: You thrive working through and solving complex problems, quickly learn and adapt to new situations, and synthesize the abstract into the concrete
- Highly organized: You think in systems and process, relish bringing structure to ambiguity, ruthlessly prioritize, and feel organization is second nature to you
- Clear communicator: You are an excellent writer (memos, slides) and excel at making the complex simple to empower decision-making
What the job involves
- The mission of the forecasting team at Shiftsmart is to work closely with our customers and use our own proprietary data to drive meaningful outcomes for them
- This team is on the cutting edge of the largest problems our enterprise customers face, and uses the data we draw from our partners all across the country to provide recommendations and improvements, and deepen the connection between Shiftsmart and these customers
- We work with all teams across Shiftsmart to lead end-to-end projects, grow customer relationships, deliver objective analysis and insights, and execute strategic initiatives
- This role sits at the intersection of data engineering and analytics: you’ll work with data pipelines, SQL, and data visualization tools, while also thinking about how end users consume the data
- Analytics: You will transform raw data into well-structured, reliable datasets that analysts, data scientists, and business teams can use to make better decisions
- Process Improvements: Build, scale, and optimize business processes tied to customer forecasting and reporting and contribute to the overall customer data ecosystem
- Build and Execute: Own analytics initiatives that support daily operations such as building the data architecture, identifying opportunities using data and first principles, and build reports to summarize, monitor, and illustrate progress to capturing them
- Cross-functional collaborations: Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to be a thought partner for data-informed strategic decision-making
Our take
Labor force participation is at an all-time low in the United States, and companies across the board are struggling to combat the shortfall. Shiftsmart’s solution is a dynamic labor marketplace, matching workers on their platform to temporary gigs, and helping companies fill gaps without committing to, or having to attract, full-time talent.
Shiftsmart’s network of over 1.2 million workers serves big-name enterprises like Google, HP, Apple, and Levi’s, and is part of a growing industry of staffing solutions for hourly workers that have been seeing big VC investments over recent years. Driven by the gig economy becoming more normalized and demand for flexible hours increasing, Shiftsmart saw its revenue increase by nearly 400%, and they put this success down to a competitively unique business model that sees more control being put in the hands of workers and employers alike. They have now done work in over 57 countries, and are operating tens of thousands of shifts each week.
Some user feedback suggests the company still has some kinks to iron out on their platform, with multiple complaints about delayed or missing payments. But with thousands of successful, efficient job placements found over the last few years, Shiftsmart are making strides in an area that looks set to remain in high demand.
