Head Of Product Analytics Data Science And Insights at Fountain

Fountain is enterprise software that accelerates global high volume hiring. Our customers hire millions of hourly workers annually in 78 countries. Job seekers often struggle to get connected with companies seeking hourly workers due to inefficiencies in their hiring processes, and Fountain makes it easier for them to get offers for work quickly. Getting hired fast eases some of the financial instability millions of families face.

Fountain is a Remote-first company that embraces a work from anywhere policy and offers flexibility on location, so our employees feel free to enjoy the world. Fountain is widely trusted by leading organizations, including Chipotle, StitchFix, GoPuff and Just Eat Takeaway.

We just 4.5Xed in valuation in our Series C, which was led by Softbank and B Capital. We plan on keeping this hyper-growth going this year! Come join us on this rocket ship!

Why will you enjoy this new opportunity?
 
Fountain processes 40+ million job applications per year.  We have barely scratched the surface on how we can use this data to help our customers design best practices, give applicants and customers the best possible user experience, use ML to automate conversations, and publicly publish our insights to the world in the middle of the tightest job market for hourly workers in 15 years.
