About Us
Zenput was founded in 2012 with offices in San Francisco, CA (our HQ), Atlanta, GA and Guadalajara, Mexico. Top restaurant, retail, and other multi-unit operators like Dominos, Chipotle, KFC, Five Guys, and 7-Eleven use Zenput to elevate team execution across all of their locations. Today we have customers who are collectively overseeing 50,000 locations across 40+ countries using our cloud-based platform to make their operations more agile and their employees more productive.
At Zenput, you will contribute directly to the roadmap of all of our products, working closely with other designers, product managers, and engineers to design, build, and optimize user experiences. We are looking for an experienced manager that can build up a design organization that conducts customer and market research, discovers new problem spaces, defines solutions, optimizes experiences, and contributes to the product vision. You’ll be at the heart of delivering new products that solve real problems for some of the world’s most recognized brands.
We’re all remote for the time being, but we currently are planning and looking forward to returning to our offices in 2021 in San Francisco, CA, Atlanta, GA or Guadalajara, JAL, though it’s not a requirement to be in the office.
