Job description
Sona
Three billion people worldwide work in frontline jobs. Despite rising costs and staff shortages, frontline organizations are forced to rely on basic tools like paper, Excel, and WhatsAp or outdated workforce management solutions to manage their most valuable asset: their people.
Enter Sona: the next generation of AI-native, frontline workforce management. We’ve built an end-to-end platform covering scheduling, HR, payroll, and communications that gives large frontline organizations everything they need to staff intelligently and empower their teams.
In under four years, we’ve made a significant impact on the lives of over 100,000 frontline workers and their organizations’ operations, grown the team to 110+, and secured over $50M in funding from notable VCs, including Felicis, Northzone, Gradient Ventures (Google), SpeedInvest, Antler, and Notion Capital, plus notable angels like Tom Blomfield (Monzo).
It’s an exciting time to join the team—we’re still small enough that you’ll have a significant impact on our growth trajectory and culture, yet large enough to have solid structure, experienced leaders, and world-class benefits in place. More on working at Sona here.
As we scale, we’re looking for an enthusiastic, detail oriented Bookeeper to support our finance team in core operational areas like accounts payable, customer invoicing, VAT returns, and month end close, while also assisting with audits, equity events, and strategic expansion projects.
