Job Profile: Founder’s Associate 

What is Midlane

• Midlane is the all-in-one management system for frontline workers.  Our funding comes from leading VCs and Angels, including Cherry Ventures. 

Why our mission matters 

• Over 80% of the global workforce is deskless and does operative work: creating things, sorting boxes in warehouses, delivering packages and welcoming you at stores or events.
• But the majority of software is built for highly-educated desk workers, which leads to frontline workers being isolated from corporate IT and in fact left behind.
• We are the main road that connects companies with their operative workers. We bring bosses, HR teams, and workers into one system, so they can progress, grow and thrive together. Each individual’s path comes together in the middle, like a shared journey on a road called Midlane.
