Careers at Lift

Empathy - As the researcher and author Brené Brown says “Empathy fuels connection.” Success on all levels requires connection and it’s a quality Lift actively seeks.

Intellectual curiosity - Being smart is a given, but not all intelligent people possess curiosity. You’ll be a great fit if you’re always intensely interested in learning more.

A sense of humor - You have to be able to laugh at yourself. If you can laugh while rolling your eyes at Doug’s infamous dad jokes, bonus points!

A collaborative spirit - At Lift, we believe that we can push boundaries further as a team than we can individually. Independent work is important but so is the ability to collaborate.

Respect - For yourself and others. We never allow you to be treated with disrespect, either by clients or by other employees within our organization, and we expect you to treat others with respect.

Motivation - You want to make a measurable difference in clients’ businesses while advancing your own career. At Lift, we coach all our employees to bring them to the next level.

Willingness to learn from mistakes - Mistakes are part of the growth process. They’re inevitable, but they’re only useful if you’re willing to learn from them and course-correct. For example, at Lift, we all discuss our greatest learning and/or greatest failure at least once a month. Sometimes, there’s a deep dive. It’s never mean or personal.

Ego - If you’re more invested in being right than in admitting your mistakes and learning from them, Lift probably isn’t for you.

A fixed mindset - We don’t want someone overly invested in the status quo. If you often say “But this is how things have always been done,” then you may be better suited for a more traditional environment.

Toxicity - If you let negativity fester, you won’t embrace the Lift mindset. We believe in radical candor and think it’s important to keep the lines of communication open.

A short-term fit - Ideally, we’re looking for someone who really wants to develop a long-term career. Lift is growing fast and we have lots of opportunities for people who want to step up and develop their skillsets.

A defensive personality - Sometimes, even the kindest constructive criticism stings. And that’s okay—we’ve all been there. But if you get defensive, close off, and are unable to course-correct, you’re not a great fit for Lift. We’ll listen as you explain your reasoning and will offer suggestions about how to approach things next time—and we’ll cheer you on when you’re successful!

Passivity - We’re looking for self-motivated people. That doesn’t mean you’ll be abandoned to figure things out on your own (you absolutely won’t be), but we do want people who will speak up when they run into difficulties or need some extra coaching to get through a rough patch.
