Getting ready to leave the military? Ever considered joining a startup? Working for a small, hungry company can provide the same sense of connection to a mission that you’ve felt while in uniform.

Instead of being a tiny cog in a giant machine, you’ll work with a tight-knit team that is as dedicated to a mission, driven by purpose, and committed to one another. Startup teammates We wear many hats, pitch in wherever needed, stare down uncertainty regularly, and as they say, either “find a way or make one.”

Interested in learning more? Apply for a SkillBridge internship with one of America’s fastest-growing startups at shift.org/skillbridge.

Shift is proud to announce that Katy Davis and Josh Duntz have joined the team as Account Executives! Katy and Josh will play a pivotal role in helping Shift scale new business B2B partnership efforts focused on high growth companies looking to implement a simplified veteran hiring initiative.

Katy has spent 6 years in technology sales as an Individual Contributor & Sales Manager. After transitioning to tech sales from a non-traditional background, she served as a hiring manager in a hyper-growth start-up where she experienced first hand the challenges both candidates & companies face in making the right hires at scale. She is thrilled to join in Shift’s effort to solve this problem for the military community where she joins our Partnership team as an Account Executive.

Josh spent a decade in the Navy’s bomb squad before becoming one of Shift’s first SkillBridge candidates in 2019. He went on to start his own company where he sold respiratory therapeutic programs into hospitals throughout the height of the pandemic. His passion for the veteran community led him back to Shift where he joins our Partnership team as an Account Executive.

We're grateful to add these two to the Shift team!

Today is a day to celebrate our Shift interns.

We want to send a huge thank you to Alana Evans for being our social media marketing intern this summer. She managed our social media presence across our social channels, increasing our followers by 6%, and designed and launched our newsletter, The Shift Dispatch, to our military community. She's a future marketing leader-we don't know what we're going to do without her!

Throughout Ethan Elsaden's Business Operations internship this summer, he was key in our day-to-day operations. He developed reporting and research that helped implement new platforms for our Finance and People teams – he builds to scale! A BIG thank you to Ethan.

We are grateful we had the opportunity to work with these incredible interns and for the major value they brought to the team over the course of the summer!
