About our team

We’re a team of folks of diverse backgrounds, who come from both military and civilian sectors, and who are deeply committed to our mission. There is nothing more sincere and powerful than the desire of each of our team members to make a difference in the lives of those who have dedicated their lives to service.

Hear it from the team:

"I joined Shift because I was intrigued by the Career Accelerator and Navigating Next programs, which are unlike anything else being offered right now in the military employment space. Even better, I'm surrounded by smart, helpful, dedicated teammates who make it fun to go to work each day. As an Army spouse, I appreciate the flexibility of a remote-first organization with generous PTO as it eliminates the inevitable "will I be able to keep my job?" worry that comes with every military move."

Lindsay Teplesky

Senior Manager, Community & Career Discovery

"Each veteran that attends the Career Accelerator have incredibly interesting stories and very few of them realize it! Being able to build an experience for them to understand their story, learn how to tell it, and watch them find their stride because of it is one of the most exciting things I experience on a daily basis."

Our culture

Six principles that guide us

Accountability

We accept responsibility for our actions and the commitments we make to others.

Empathy

We think “brilliant jerk” is an oxymoron. We are sensitive to the feelings of others and are actively seeking out new perspectives.

Authenticity

We bring our whole and best selves to work to show honesty and build trust

Integrity

We prize being truthful, honest, and demonstrating strong ethical principles

Clarity

Intellectual curiosity is the backbone of our collaboration efforts. We seek to learn, to understand and to clarify when rationale or expectations are unclear.
