Designed by and for women, Rise is the premier remote job site for women who want to start freelancing, pick up some contract-based projects—or land otherwise flexible remote jobs. This particular platform that serves women, has never been more relevant (and important). With women making up nearly 60% of employees who’ve been laid off due to COVID-19, they’re growing very quickly and attracting lots of great companies that want to hire top talent. Unlike other job sites, Rise is truly a vertical-centric ecosystem that brings together flexible jobs, on-demand benefits and services (like health insurance, financial services, tax and accounting support) and an engaged community. The platform is striving to build a future where women are empowered to go further and faster, on their own terms.
