Customer Success Manager

About SwiftComply

SwiftComply is an award-winning early-stage technology company with a mission to protect human health and the environment with an all-in-one cloud-based software that empowers local governments to easily manage their water, wastewater, and stormwater compliance programs. 

We were founded in 2016 by our founder and CEO, Mick O’Dwyer. As a water & wastewater engineer at Dublin City Council (Ireland), Mick saw first hand how manual, paper-based and inefficient compliance programs can be. He created SwiftComply to fix this problem with modern, collaborative technology.

Today, SwiftComply supports over 400+ utilities that deliver water service to 50+ million citizens - and we’re expanding the team to make an even bigger impact!
