About The Position

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. Seso’s modern platform provides employers with orders of magnitude increases in efficiency, while helping them stay compliant and communicate with their workforce. We’re looking for a senior Product Manager - Payroll to own new initiatives for Seso’s Payroll platform, which powers core workflows across pay calculation, earnings and deductions, compliance, approvals, reporting, and payroll operations. You will be responsible for driving business outcomes related to our payroll product and helping shape one of the most critical systems in our platform.
