Our Freedom with Responsibility Philosophy 

At Think Shift, we believe our unique culture and philosophies make us different in a good way. Our talented team of multi-disciplined creators and strategists have one thing in common: the drive to outperform and to help our clients do the same. 

We believe in providing guidelines for Think Shifters to operate within instead of putting up fences that can restrict true creativity and diversity of thought. With the freedom to operate in a way that best works for them, it allows everyone to bring their best selves to work. But with great freedom also comes great responsibility and the expectation of following through on what you say you’ll do. We understand this approach is not for everyone. Think Shift is for those who blaze the path for their own growth and challenge the status quo to find a better way. It’s for those who are committed to protecting, preserving and overall, enhancing what has been entrusted to them. 

We Want You to Be YOU! 

At Think Shift, we want everyone to feel comfortable bringing their complete and authentic selves to work. We believe that when individuals bring their unique experiences, backgrounds, knowledge, perspectives and self-expression to the collaborative process, our team becomes even more amazing. We are committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace and welcoming talent from all backgrounds. As part of our stewardship commitment, Think Shift continually strives to create a culture of respect and fairness for all. 

If you require any accommodation or support during the recruitment process, please let us know.
