The real economy employs 3 billion people in frontline jobs, yet frontline teams are still left to choose between paper and Excel or decade-old workforce management solutions to take care of the most important part of their businesses - their people.
Enter Sona, the Frontline Operating System; an end-to-end platform to manage a shift-based workforce and empower its teams. Sona upgrades the functionality you expect from any workforce management software - including scheduling, time & attendance, HR, and Payroll - with industry-specific plugins, dedicated features to empower staff, and a consumer-grade experience that simplifies frontline work for everyone.
In just three years, we’ve already made a deep impact on the lives of tens of thousands of frontline workers and the operation of their organisations. We’ve grown the team to 100+, and following our recent $27.5M Series A fundraise, have secured the backing of notable VC’s including 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, as we’re still small enough that you’ll have a significant impact on the company, growth trajectory and culture, yet large enough that we have a great structure, experienced leaders and world-class benefits in place.
