Job description

American farmers have made tremendous technology advancements through hardware improvements and investments in precision agriculture. However, when it comes to the back-office, most farms are decades behind, relying on spreadsheets, filing cabinets, and decades-old on-prem software to recruit, manage, and pay their workforce. Seso is addressing this problem by modernizing the back-office for the farm.

Our mission is to build the premier platform for agribusiness to hire and manage their workforce and improve the lives of agricultural workers. We are addressing American farmers’ biggest pain point - access to qualified labor - through a software-enabled labor solution that automates the H-2A visa. Our comprehensive HR platform streamlines and automates the hiring process for farms and seamlessly integrates their efforts across recruitment, onboarding, payroll, and insurance while providing workers access to financial services for the first time.

Seso has raised over $60M from Tier I investors including Index, Founders Fund, and Mary Meeker at Bond, and has been recognized with awards including Forbes Rising Stars and Andreessen Horowitz's American Dynamism 50.

About the Role

Seso’s modern platform provides employers with orders of magnitude increases in efficiency, while helping them stay compliant and communicate with their workforce. We are changing the way our customers do business, and they want more of our help. We are looking for an Innovation Product Manager to own creation and delivery of a roadmap of new product ideas that will make a step-change in the our customers’ businesses and in Seso’s.

The role has both a high level of autonomy and ownership. You will be responsible for working with a diverse set of senior leaders to look across the agribusiness landscape and identify new pools of value for Seso (think working at high abstraction levels to solve key company business goals vs. solve a specific problem). You will be responsible for designing and implementing a prioritization framework, identifying the most attractive opportunities, and defining solutions — this is a role that is as much “zero to one” as “pre-zero to zero.” We want someone capable of going broad and deep, and using data to understand when to switch modes.

Owning and delivering discovery of new pools of value for Seso across technical products, services, insurance, and others
Working closely with design, engineering, and revenue stakeholders to define a cohesive product strategy and roadmap
Translating ambiguous or complex ideas into clear, executable projects
Spending time to deeply understand and elevate the voices of our users
Combining qualitative research with quantitative analysis to inform product decisions
Owning and driving the product lifecycle from ideation through implementation and launch

Skillset

You may be a good fit for this role if:

You have 5+ years of experience as a product manager, including 3+ years in a New Products or Innovation capacity
You have experience being client facing, either as a seller or in a business development capacity
You’re a structured problem-solver with an interest in improving the lives of agricultural farmworkers and the viability of the agriculture industry
You are interested in autonomously owning a roadmap
You like talking to customers and can quickly build credibility and trust
You have a strong track record of delivering key business results

Benefits

Talented and fun teammates who don't take themselves too seriously
Competitive Salary and meaningful equity
Excellent medical and dental insurance plans
Flexible work schedule and unlimited vacation
Budget and support for personal development
Last week of the year off for company wide winter break
Company sponsored team events

Diversity is more than a commitment at Seso, it is the foundation of what we do. We pride ourselves on building the premier platform that serves agribusiness and improves the lives of agricultural workers. We believe in diversity of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, ethnicity, national origin and all the other fascinating characteristics that make us all feel welcome.
