About Ganaz

There are 2.7B deskless workers globally, and one-third work in agriculture.. Software tools built for white-collar workers just don't work for agricultural workers who are often lower literacy, migrant, unbanked, and not accustomed to using email and apps. That's where we come in.

Ganaz is the workforce management platform for the $1+ trillion North American agriculture and food manufacturing industry. We help create safer, fairer and more profitable workplaces while providing the financial services needed to help workers forge a path out of poverty. Our software currently helps employers onboard, train, communicate with, and retain their multilingual, deskless workforce. We will soon be launching paycards with integrated remittances, saving money for both workers and employers in this large and underserved market. We're working with some of the largest and best brands in the industry, and our product offering and customer base is growing fast.

The Role

We are seeking a motivated and mission-driven Account Executive to join our sales team as we dramatically grow the number of businesses (farms & food manufacturers) and workers who are using the Ganaz platform.
