The real economy employs 3 billion people in frontline jobs, yet frontline teams have been underserved by technology for decades and are left to choose between paper or 20-year-old workforce management solutions, which harm both their employees and their business.
At Sona, we’re building the Frontline Operating System; an end-to-end platform to manage the entirety of a shift-based workforce. Sona combines the functionality you expect from any workforce management software - including scheduling, time & attendance, and absence management - with industry-specific plugins and dedicated features to empower staff, all in one easy-to-use platform that simplifies frontline work for everyone.
We have the opportunity to build a very large, impactful and sector-defining business, and we’re off to a fast start. In year 1, we reached tens of thousands of frontline workers and raised over $10 million from Google’s AI fund - Gradient Ventures, SpeedInvest, Notion Capital and angels like Tom Blomfield, to help us reach more.
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, but large enough that we have a great structure, experienced leaders and world-class benefits in place (such as being fully remote and flexible, and only working 4.5 days a week)
About the Role
We’re taking the modern product experience that we’ve all come to expect in our consumer lives and putting it in the hands of front line teams. As our third Product Manager, you’ll help define our ambitious Product roadmap, driven by huge customer demand, and work closely with a growing, cross-functional product team to execute it.
Our product serves several sectors and we’ll break into even more in future. This means you’ll be turning a newly-established product into a true market leader and guiding us through the early product-market fit stages in fresh sectors as we continue to grow.
To excel in this role, you’ll need to be comfortable balancing multiple work streams and able to factor commercial context into product decisions, while still being a champion for our users and committed to building a best-in-class product.
Responsibilities
Day to day, you will be:
-
Defining and prioritising our roadmap and ensuring it’s transparent and visible throughout Sona
-
Working with our engineers, designers, and wider product team to deliver new features for our product.
-
Building a deep understanding of our users' needs through direct interaction and close collaboration with our customer and commercial team
-
Contributing to the continuous improvement of our product development process and practices
Requirements
We don’t have hard and fast requirements, but hopefully lot’s of the following apply to you:
-
You’re an experienced Product Manager, capable of owning a product area and coordinating your team to ship high-quality features quickly.
-
You communicate clearly and transparently, erring on the side of over-communicating with your team and the wider business.
-
You’re flexible and comfortable dealing with the rapid course correction needed to navigate the early stages of finding product market fit and becoming a category leader.
-
You have the needs of users top-of-mind when building products, but you’re also able to understand and factor-in commercial context.

Working at Sona
We take our health and mental health seriously, believing that we can only perform to our best when we are healthy, happy, and in control of when, where, and how we work. That's why we're 100% remote and everyone works a 4.5 day week (you choose when you take the half day) with a fully flexible schedule.
We balance this with regular virtual stand-ups and all-hands so we're all aligned, and paid-for, in-person meet-ups so you can get to know your colleagues.
