Sales Lead

Company OverviewAdrich collects and transmits product usage data autonomously through connected smart product labels, so consumer brands can better understand and serve their consumers. Consumer products companies collect large amounts of data about customers and in-store sales, but as soon as a product leaves the store there is no information about how, when or where their products are being used - Adrich solves this problem by providing a real-time granular after-sales data analytics platform. Each unit of product tracks the demographics of the consumer, the rate of consumption, the exact time of day it is being used and when a consumer runs out. With this data, now brands can better understand their consumers and make products more suited to their needs thus maximizing sales and improving brand loyalty Job SummaryWe’re looking for an innovative Sales Lead whose mission is to provide strategic leadership to deliver long term growth and achieve sales goals.
