Calling dynamic and ambitious administrative assistants in the Seattle area!
Swift Industries is seeking an excellent communicator, with honed time-management skills. If you love a fast-paced environment that keeps tabs on multiple balls in the air, then you might be our knight in shining armor. Whether you’re the drummer in a band or a parent, you’ve got the chops to keep pace and go with the flow. Seeking someone who loves learning, is a natural puzzle-master, and loves lifting up your co-workers. Swift Industries is changing rapidly and we are building a team that stays present, ambitious and curious as we evolve and strengthen our company, practices and policies.
