3 billion people across the world work in frontline jobs. Yet, despite rising costs and staff shortages, frontline organisations
are still left to choose between paper, Excel, and WhatsApp, or decade-old workforce management solutions to take care of the most
important part of their businesses - their people.
Enter Sona: the next generation of AI-native, frontline workforce management. We’ve built an end-to-end platform covering
Scheduling, HR, Payroll, and Communications that gives the largest frontline organisations everything they need to staff more
intelligently and empower their teams.
In under 5 years, we've already made a deep impact on the lives of over 100k frontline workers and the operation of their
organisations, grown the team to 140+, and secured over $100M in funding from notable VC's, including our Series B led by N47
alongside Felicis, Northzone, and Gradient Ventures (Google).
It’s a hugely exciting time to be joining the team as we’re still small enough that you’ll have a significant impact on the
company’s growth trajectory and culture, yet large enough to have a great structure, experienced leaders and world-class benefits
in place.
About the Role
Sona's Customer Success function is being built from the ground up. We have £4.4M of ARR transitioning from Implementation to
Customer Success in the coming months, our first year of renewals at scale, and meaningful seat expansion across the base and we
need CSMs who can shape what good looks like, not operate inside a playbook someone else wrote.
You'll own a book of around 20-24 enterprise accounts across Social Care and Hospitality, partnering with Support, Product, and
Sales to own the post-live customer experience end to end. You'll run the QBR cadence, track realised value continuously, and walk
into renewal conversations with the case already made. You'll hold senior customer relationships at Director level and above,
navigate difficult product feedback conversations with diplomacy, and progress seat upsells as customers grow.
This is a high-autonomy role joining a function still being shaped. Some of the accounts you'll inherit are in difficult places.
The Head of Customer Success is being hired in parallel, so the first few months will run with less day-to-day coaching than is
typical. You'll need to be comfortable building alongside us driving outcomes in ambiguity, holding rooms independently, and
shipping the V1 of how Customer Success works at Sona.
We're a high-performance team. Everyone holds an important seat and is expected to perform at an elite level. We have each other's
backs, we assume good intent, and we have zero space for internal politics. If that's your default, you'll thrive here.

3 billion people across the world work in frontline jobs.

We’ve built an end-to-end platform covering Scheduling, HR, Payroll, and Communications that gives the largest frontline organisations everything they need to staff more intelligently and empower their teams. In under 5 years, we've already made a deep impact on the lives of over 100k frontline workers and the operation of their organisations, grown the team to 160+, and secured over $100M in funding from notable VC's, including our Series B led by N47 alongside Felicis, Northzone, and Gradient Ventures (Google). It’s a hugely exciting time to be joining the team as we’re still small enough that you’ll have a significant impact on the company’s growth trajectory and culture, yet large enough to have a great structure, experienced leaders and world-class benefits in place. About the Role We're growing our payroll bureau fast, and hiring Senior Payroll Specialists to own payroll processing and the customer relationship end-to-end for a portfolio of Sona's frontline customers. This isn't a conventional bureau role. We're a fast-moving startup where everyone has a hand in building our processes, tools, and ways of working, and we're already more AI-forward in how we run payroll than any other bureau we know. You'll help push that further, not just keep up with it. If you want a highly structured environment with the playbook already written, this likely isn't the fit. If you're energised by building, and by figuring out where AI genuinely helps rather than just following a process, you'll have real ownership and real opportunity as the bureau scales. Responsibilities * Run end-to-end payrolls for a growing portfolio of enterprise customers with complex requirements, spanning hourly rates, overtime, and weekly, fortnightly or monthly cycles * Own your client relationships as their primary point of contact, giving them confidence in our service * Identify opportunities to improve how we work, including where AI can help, and help put those improvements into practice * Act as a payroll expert in support of sales, helping prospective customers understand how our bureau operates * Collaborate across Sona, from Implementation and Product to Customer Success and Support * Develop a strong working knowledge of our HR and WFM platform and how it connects to payroll * Monitor KPIs, SLAs and compliance to ensure we deliver the highest standard of service * Stay current on the legislation, tools and trends that shape how we run payroll Requirements * Hands-on bureau payroll experience, processing for multiple clients rather than running a single in-house payroll * Strong working knowledge of UK payroll legislation: PAYE, RTI, pension auto-enrolment, and statutory payments * Comfortable managing multiple concurrent payrolls at volume and across different pay cycles * Assured and expert with clients, operating as a trusted advisor on payroll matters * Genuinely curious and self-sufficient: you research, question inefficiencies, and bring ideas rather than needing a playbook handed to you * Genuinely motivated by a startup environment where you help build the processes, not just follow them * Bonus: CIPP qualified (or working towards it), high-volume or multi-sector bureau experience, and any experience building or improving payroll tools and processes, including with AI. A little Ireland payroll exposure is a nice-to-have, not a requirement. Benefits * Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 * Hybrid working - 2+ days/week in our London office (Soho) * Share options * 35 days annual leave (25 days standard plus 10 flexible public holiday days) * Extra day of leave for every year of service * Pension contributions matched up to 5% * Comprehensive health insurance * Enhanced parental leave & pay * Salary sacrifice childcare scheme (Workplace Nursery) * Annual all expenses paid team retreats * The latest Macbook and equipment budget for your home office * Professional development budget * Unlimited free books Note: this represents a typical benefits package for a UK-based, full-time employee.
