Sr. Director Product Management

ProducePay is building a more connected and sustainable fresh produce supply chain. That means placing transparency at the center of every transaction. Our founder, Pablo Borquez Schwarzbeck is a fourth generation Mexican farmer. He started ProducePay with a simple goal of helping growers gain more access to capital. Today, that vision has grown into a company with a portfolio of services that are helping growers and buyers connect and trade in a more transparent way.

Why ProducePay? ProducePay is transforming the fresh produce industry through a transparent marketplace, flexible financing, and better insights into the market. We are a grower-focused company that likes helping the little guy. We have raised over $80 million to take ProducePay to the next level, and are rapidly growing the team.

We are an incredibly supportive team - we all work, win, and learn together. If you want a clear-cut role with the same tasks for years, this is not for you. If you like to think big, can keep focused on priorities, and work on a variety of projects, we need you!
