About SwiftStart
SwiftStart is a global Amazon Growth agency that partners with high-growth consumer brands to position their brand for global expansion and rapid marketplace success. At SwiftStart, we are fixated on building the next generation of legendary brands and the people who will lead them.
To give ourselves our best shot at accomplishing this mission, we organize all of our decisions — from recruiting, to hiring, to raises, to promotions, to how we spend our time and money — in the direction of three committed values.
We recognize these values aren't for everyone. They're challenging.
In fact, they're so challenging, that's why we invest so much in supporting our team and why we tend to attract people who are craving the opportunity to do more at work than get a paycheck. We're looking for those who are interested in making their work significant.

For us to continue to build on our success, we are focused on developing our team both inside and outside the office, with the understanding that as we grow, you grow. Our team fosters a collaborative environment where we drive results, optimize our efforts, and achieve amazing things, and we have fun along the way!
