WHO ARE WE?

We are SwipeGuide. We are on a mission to empower frontline teams. Imagine working on a busy production line, relying upon outdated work instructions and inadequate on-the-job training. It’s time to simplify how people work and learn at the frontline. We offer a frontline 'how-to' platform for collaborative and connected work at scale and a “know-how” platform for simplified skills management for factory teams. These platforms help global manufacturers drive operational excellence through standard work and frontline skills development hassle-free. We all know that a digital future is unavoidable, and we're providing the software essential for digital transformation in manufacturing. And it's working... We had five people and only a handful of customers in 2016, and today, we have thirty Swipees, 100,000+ platform users in 89 countries worldwide and are supporting customers like Heineken, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo!

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

• A monthly internship fee for six months 💶
• A challenging environment to develop your personal and professional skills with a lot of freedom to take on ownership 👩🏽‍🎓
• You'll be in a fortunate situation to make a high impact at a small young technology company where you aren't just a number to us 💯
• A chance to learn from other people's mistakes in a flat hierarchy company. For example, we share and celebrate failures at our biweekly SwipeUp Sessions, where we ask, “What did you f*** up last week?” 😫🎓

SwipeGuide is committed to creating a diverse environment influenced by a lifetime of individual experiences. We hire people from all walks of life, not just because it's the right thing to do but also because when people from diverse backgrounds build a company, the understanding and embracing of their communities grow exponentially. This means our creative and strategic horizons are not only expanding, but they're consistently strengthening, thanks to a global perspective. Therefore, we constantly try to follow the proper practices and processes so that we do not discriminate based on education, race, religion, colour, national origin, genetics, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
