Head of Product

WikiFarmer - Head of Product

Who we are: Wikifarmer is a global platform with the mission of empowering farmers by educating them and offering them access to the open market to sell their products at fair prices.The Problem We Are Solving:Most farmers in the world still cultivate their fields with techniques learned from experience or taught by their ancestors, leading to non-optimum practices in terms of yield and regard to the environmental impact.

Farmers produce the most valuable part of the food supply chain, but they are the ones getting the least value out of it.

How we are fixing this:Wikifarmer is building both an educational platform and a digital Marketplace. On one side of our Platform, producers can tap into and update their agricultural knowledge and practices and on the other side they can upload their products for free, gaining immediate and direct access to domestic and international markets.

What we are looking for: Having recently secured a new round of funding from Point Nine (Revolut, Delivery Hero, Typeform) we are starting to build our Leadership team - central to those hires will be our new Head of Product.

In close collaboration with the Founders, you will own and drive the Product vision/strategy and act as a strategic counterpart to our CTO. You will be responsible for the hiring and development of our PM org making sure that we are building, managing and retaining a best-in-class team.
