Always Growing
Where ‘inclusivity’ isn’t just a buzzword
Compared to previous male-dominated workplaces where Klein said she didn’t feel heard, “Shipwell’s leadership openly promotes inclusivity.” Regardless of gender, Klein said everyone on her team makes space for fellow employees. To help facilitate an inclusive mindset, Shipwell hosts workshops on topics such as microaggressions in the workplace, the importance of belonging, and driving belonging through communication.
I feel comfortable speaking up and I know my voice is heard.

Work-Life Balance
Where self-care is encouraged
To promote self-care, Gordon said Shipwell provides yoga classes, meditation resources and friendly step-count competitions. Blood drive participation and a partnership with Autism Awareness offer employees a chance to give back. To instill connection within his remote team, Gordon participates in virtual lunches, happy hours and online games. Online bonding sessions replace face-to-face connections.
Social connections are often the motivating energies that help us power through these different and difficult times while reinvigorating personal and professional happiness and fulfillment.

Looking Forward
Understanding customer needs to build better experiences
Simfukwe remembers when Shipwell had a much smaller user base and only two services on its platform. Today, Simfukwe’s team embraces a service-oriented architecture, which allows individual teams to work independently, innovatively and choose the best technologies for each use case. Looking forward, his team is prepping for the next iteration of the platform that will enhance the customer experience.
As we build out new features or enhance existing ones, we are always looking forward to where we want to take our platform.

An Insider's view of Shipwell

What are some social events your company does?

Shipwell assumes you know how to do your job; outside of core office hours, you are allowed to set your own in-office times. Working from home to deal with a delivery or appointment is a simple notice to a manager, and you're encouraged to make use of the unlimited PTO!

David

Backend Engineer

What's the biggest problem your team is solving?

How a freight brokerage frees up cumbersome processes using technology! We strive to answer this question so people on the front lines can do more of what they do best. Our teams are the heaviest users and biggest advocates of Shipwell’s platform because it directly solves our industry-specific needs.

Andy

Carrier Compliance & Analytics Lead

What makes someone successful on your team?

What makes the team members on my teams successful is their ability to come in everyday with an amazing attitude, effort, and working together as a team!

Taryn

Enterprise Carrier Sales Manager

How do your team's ideas influence the company's direction?

Everyone on the team shows up with a unique perspective. We don't train people to be sales robots because sometimes new ideas can drastically improve how the entire team operates. That sort of ingenuity influences our entire company.

Laurel

Strategic Account Manager

How do you collaborate with other teams in the company?

Being a data scientist I spend about 50% of my time with stakeholders, customers, sales representatives, & the carrier success team, to understand how they work and how we can help them. One of the most important lessons I have learnt at Shipwell is that listening is key!
