Your mission
At hexafarms, we imagine a future where global agriculture produces significantly more food using fewer resources. Growers utilizing hexafarms achieve a 30% increase in yield using the same resources, with reduced complexities. We see this as the dawn of the Fourth Agricultural Revolution, and we want to lead it globally.
As the Chief of Staff at hexafarms, your mission will be to maintain our current 10x growth trajectory by ensuring our growing family is aligned and our teams are focused on performance.
We’re a rapidly growing startup, and our recent success is a direct result of increased efficiency and productivity experienced by our customers. From day zero, you will have an immediate impact on our productivity by streamlining initiatives, overseeing projects and long term and short term goals, and communicating objectives across departments. The ideal candidate will have proven success in a fast-paced startup environment.

What Will Make You Stand Out
Here Are Just Some Of The Reasons
We are building the company that is building the software for the future of commercial food production. We create a peace of mind for commercial food producers by interfacing their entire operations to our ML and AI services.
hexafarms helps growers to get the most out of their production through yield forecasting, disease and pest detection, climate optimisation, and real-time plant analysis- all in one place. Day by day, we are bridging the gap between sensing, plant biology, and real-time market needs to ensure our customers focus on what is really important, and keep growing at their best.
