This posting builds a talent community for a future Senior Account Manager role. Candidates should have account management experience (ideally in SaaS, public sector, or transit tech), be mission-driven about mobility/sustainability, and be willing to join a distributed team and attend occasional in-person offsites. Submitting interest puts you first in line when a role opens.
Company Description
Swiftly is on a mission to help cities move more efficiently. We are the leading transit data platform for agencies to share real-time passenger information, manage day-to-day operations, and improve service performance. Today, over 200 transit agencies in 12 countries – including LA Metro, MARTA, SEPTA, and MBTA – rely on Swiftly to improve on-time performance by up to 40% and increase passenger information accuracy by up to 50%. The result is better service reliability, increased ridership, and more efficient transit operations.
Even though Swiftly's HQ office is located in San Francisco, CA, we are open to candidates in most locations across the U.S. as well as Ontario and British Columbia, Canada. At this time we are unable to provide Visa sponsorship.
We don't have an open Senior Account Manager role right now, but we're growing and expect to. Rather than starting from scratch when we do, we'd rather build a relationship now.
If you're an experienced account manager with a background in SaaS, public sector, or transit technology, and you're curious about Swiftly, we'd love to hear from you. When a role opens, we'll reach out to candidates in this pool first.
What to expect
Submitting your interest here means you'll be among the first to hear when a Senior Account Manager role opens at Swiftly. There's no commitment on either side, just a chance to stay connected.
