Account Executive

3 billion people across the world work in frontline jobs. Yet, despite rising costs and staff shortages, frontline organizations are still left to choose between paper, Excel, and WhatsApp, or decade-old workforce management solutions to take care of the most important part of their businesses: their people. Enter Sona: the next generation of AI-native, frontline workforce management. We've built an end-to-end platform covering Scheduling, HR, Payroll, and Communications that gives the largest frontline organizations everything they need to staff more intelligently and empower their teams. In 4 years, we've already made a deep impact on the lives of over 100k frontline workers and the operation of their organizations, grown the team to 140+, and secured over $100M in funding from notable VCs, including N47, Felicis, Northzone, Gradient Ventures (Google), SpeedInvest, Antler, and Notion Capital, plus notable angels like Tom Blomfield (Monzo). It's a hugely exciting time to be joining the team. We're still small enough that you'll have a significant impact on the company's growth trajectory and culture, but large enough to have a great structure, experienced leaders, and world-class benefits in place.
