About the role

Leveraging marketplace dynamics and deep industry knowledge, the company is playing a vital role in mitigating America’s healthcare staffing shortages, enabling direct connections between facilities and healthcare professionals.

For more information, visit style="min-height:1.5em">The role ShiftKey connects healthcare professionals with facilities across diverse care settings, and our professional experience - from the first shift someone picks up to whether they're still picking up shifts three years later - is what keeps that marketplace healthy. Our Product Team operates in an augmented model - you will direct what we are building toward and our non-negotiables, while our delivery partners direct how it gets built. Professionals who pick up shifts on ShiftKey have options - other platforms, direct facility work, leaving staffing entirely. This role owns the experience that makes ShiftKey the one they stick with: finding shifts, getting placed, seeing what they earn and why, building a reputation, and coming back.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
