About the Role

We’re seeking a Product Director to lead the vision and roadmap for a labor management platform serving the produce and agriculture industry. This role will oversee the development of field and workforce management tools that help growers, harvesters, and packer-shippers manage labor efficiently, ensure compliance, and drive profitability across complex, seasonal operations.

You’ll own the strategy and execution for labor tracking, crew management, piece-rate pay, compliance, and integrations with ERP, accounting, and payroll systems. The right candidate is deeply familiar with agricultural field operations and understands how technology can simplify complex labor processes.


Key Responsibilities

  • Product Ownership: Define and execute the product strategy for labor tracking, workforce management, and field data capture.
  • Workflow Understanding: Map out the day-to-day challenges of crews, foremen, and payroll teams to design intuitive tools that reduce administrative friction.
  • Cross-System Integration: Collaborate with ERP and payments product teams to create a unified experience from field data collection to financial reconciliation.
  • Compliance & Efficiency: Lead initiatives that help customers manage wage/hour compliance, piece-rate calculations, and seasonal workforce reporting.
  • Market Insight: Research competitors and evolving labor laws in agriculture to anticipate customer needs and maintain compliance advantage.
  • Customer Engagement: Conduct discovery sessions and field visits with growers, labor contractors, and packer-shippers to validate roadmap priorities.
  • ROI-Driven Roadmap: Prioritize development efforts that deliver measurable operational and financial impact.

Core Modules You’ll Lead

  • Crew and shift management
  • Digital time and piece-rate tracking
  • Field data collection (mobile-first)
  • Payroll, HR, and compliance integrations
  • Workforce analytics and productivity dashboards

Qualifications

  • 5–8 years of product management experience, preferably in workforce or labor management, ag-tech, or ERP systems.
  • Understanding of agricultural operations, seasonal labor models, and compliance environments (e.g., H-2A, piece-rate).
  • Demonstrated success delivering software products that streamline operational workflows.
  • Strong ability to translate customer insights into clear product requirements and ROI-focused initiatives.
  • Excellent collaboration and leadership skills; capable of working cross-functionally with engineering, design, and field operations.
  • Experience in SaaS or mobile-first product design, ideally with experience in field data capture.

Why This Role Matters

Labor is the heartbeat of the agricultural supply chain — and one of its most complex challenges. This role will drive innovation in how the produce industry tracks, manages, and pays its workforce. You’ll help shape the next generation of tools that connect people, data, and operations across the farm-to-market lifecycle.
