Sales at Swiftly

The Swiftly Sales team shares our work with prospective customers, mainly transit agencies, in compelling, human ways. We challenge ourselves and one another to approach old problems in new ways, and we embrace failures as learning opportunities – if you’re not failing occasionally, you’re not putting yourself in a position to succeed! The team cares deeply about the problem we’re solving, so we empathize with and listen to our customers to build partnerships and deepen our value proposition. We thrive with constraints, getting creative to execute on a variety of deliverables in collaboration with other teams. Lastly, while we love to win, we know that the best means to that end on a broad scale is to support our colleagues and win as a team.

About the Role

Building on our consistent, significant growth over the past 2 years, the next 18 months will be big for us, and we want an experienced consultative sales person with a love for transit and public service to join our team. Our sales process is highly consultative, empathetic, and focused on driving value for customers to ultimately improve the transit service for millions of people worldwide.

If you care about improving public transportation across the world, then Swiftly is the place to be!
