About this job

We are seeking an ambitious and results-oriented Director of Sales to join our Retail Analytics team. In this individual contributor role, you will drive new revenue growth, expand existing client relationships, and position our innovative Retail Analytics solutions as essential tools for the modern retailer.

You will combine the drive of a hunter with the discipline of a farmer—acquiring new logos, growing established accounts, and closing complex deals with strategic precision. Working in close partnership with Product Area Experts and the Customer Success team, you will ensure that prospects and clients realize maximum value from our offerings.

You will also serve as the voice of the customer, bringing market feedback and emerging needs back to our product management and operational teams to fuel future innovation.
