Company Description SHIFT is the demand-for-work index that measures what employers actually advertise for, rather than forecasting future work trends. The organization analyzes 9.8 million job postings across 24 markets and nine languages, comparing 2025 with 2023 using consistent occupations, search terms, and rules. This approach provides a clear picture of how demand for different kinds of work changes over time, regardless of whether shifts are driven by AI, economic cycles, or other factors.

SHIFT publishes its methodology in full, including rules, terms used and discarded, and independent research that challenges its own findings, ensuring transparency and rigor. The index is funded solely through the sale of its reports, with no influence from employers, recruiters, or job boards, and is accessible to the public at shiftindex.org.

Role Description The Sales Partner is a remote, contract role responsible for developing and managing relationships that expand the reach of SHIFT’s reports and services. Day-to-day tasks include identifying and engaging potential clients and channel partners, presenting SHIFT’s value proposition, and guiding prospects through the sales process from initial contact to closing. The role involves maintaining regular communication with existing accounts, providing responsive customer service, and ensuring a positive experience for partners and buyers.
