Salary benchmarks
Our take
Founded in 2015 by farmers and developers, Hectare is a fast-growing agritech business. The Hectare platform now powers some of UK farming’s fastest-growing supply chains and has exciting opportunities for future growth.
Today, agricultural businesses need to supply more produce, more efficiently with less environmental impact in a world where costs are rising. Coupling that with climate change pressures with the march towards net zero in 2040 where agricultural production currently accounts for 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions, Hectare's role is to digitally engineer what is possible and to help reach that goal.
Hectare is setting out to be a UK leader in solutions to enable agricultural farm gate to factory door supply chains. Its platform powers SaaS solutions for agricultural trading as well as providing important insights for smarter, data-driven decision-making in agriculture.

- Regardless of race, gender, background, religion, disability or sexuality, we believe that the best way to build products and services that truly help people in the agricultural sector is to build the most diverse team possible. If you want to be heard, be a part of our herd.
- Ensuring our team is diverse enough but all share the common notion of being progressive, efficient and personable is important to us. Hectare is only as good as the people in it and we believe that our whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
- We particularly welcome applications from those who are significantly underrepresented in the technology sector
