About The Job
Sway is a fast-growing, LA-based technology and logistics startup that enables consumers to return online purchases without leaving their home.

Every Package Matters: We refuse to accept the imperfection that defines traditional logistics; every package and interaction counts. Our commitment to striving for perfection in every delivery and return sets us apart and fuels our success, creating the magic of Sway.
Trust your Numbers: Data forms the backbone of our decision-making process. While we consider both quantitative and qualitative insights, we prioritize data analysis to inform our strategies, ensuring that every initiative is backed by solid metrics before we act.
Seek Responsibility: We thrive on ownership, eagerly stepping up to take on tasks and projects. While we embrace the opportunity to lead, we acknowledge our mistakes, communicate transparently, and continuously build processes to prevent them from happening again.
Low Ego, High Ambition: Ego has no place in our culture; we promote constructive debate and collaboration to achieve the best outcomes. By fostering positive interactions and supporting each other, we embrace the challenge of our mission with kindness and enthusiasm, enjoying the journey together.
