What do you love about nShift?

We have a very supportive and collaborative culture where everyone is willing to help you. Everyone is willing to share knowledge and experience to ensure your onboarding is successful and you become “one of the team” quickly.

What difference will this role make to nShift if I join?

This is a vital role working within the Customer Management team. You’ll be faced with multiple accounts, not only in size but also in geographical coverage. Having to navigate through business stakeholders from e-commerce, customer experience, logistics and fulfilment, IT, procurement, no deal or day is boring… Whilst also working with key departments internally to ensure a smooth transition for the customer, you’ll build effective relationships with professional services, customer services, product, finance, and marketing.

At nShift, we believe in embracing diversity in all forms and fostering an inclusive environment for everyone, which we believe is essential for our continued success. We're an equal opportunity employer, meaning all applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, family or parental status, national origin, veteran, neurodiversity, or disability status.
