Who We Are

We are Outshift by Cisco. We are chartered to build the next new business for Cisco. We take Cisco into new markets, and especially towards new personas—both buyer and user.  

 

Like building a startup from the ground up, we believe it’s all about having an entrepreneurial approach. We take ideas from astonishing thought to a product that solves a critical need, then deliver an experience that delights users and customers. 
 
Outshift is about innovation. We look from 12 months out to five years in the future, wearing multiple hats, failing and learning fast, challenging assumptions and finding new ways of solving problems. Driving form from ambiguity. It’s about creativity. We are looking for entrepreneurs and problem solvers, whether as designers & marketers, product-led growth experts, business development, SDRs, or customer success experts. We’re always looking for product managers, data scientists, and ML engineers, too. 
 

Yes, we are building the next set of startups with the support of a trusted name like Cisco. Where else will you get to do this? We are Outshift by Cisco. We run bold, we run agile, and we run ambitious. Come create with us.
