Role
Who you are

- You have a strong ability to build and maintain relationships, cross-functionally and externally

- You understand consumer experience either from your past roles working in B2B SaaS for companies serving end consumers, or as a consumer yourself (ideally both!)
- You are extremely strong analytically but also equally comfortable in Canva as in Excel, and you love translating data into high-impact executive summaries that look slick
- You are a great problem-solver who doesn't get stuck or throw up your hands, but rather hunt down an answer or someone in your network who could help you get the answer
- You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic startup environment
- You have exceptional organizational and project management skills

Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
FindMine is an intelligent retail software that offers customers additional items during the sales process to complete an outfit, set, or beauty concept. Brands benefit from new products being integrated into their current range quickly, improving sales and reducing manual work by up to 90%. Customers, in turn, see products that complete a whole outfit or look during the purchase process. The company estimates that its customer brands see an uplift of 3-7% in e-commerce revenue.
FindMine claims to be at the forefront of a new way of shopping, where the consumer begins the process through a set of interactions, and AI learns from these, creating a bespoke profile. The use of AI in the fashion sector is estimated to be worth over $4 billion by 2027, and online retailers embracing the trend toward technology-driven shopping will benefit. FindMine estimates that customers spend 3x more when guidance is provided by the brand they are purchasing from.
The company has already forged partnerships with SAP, Oracle, Shopify, Salesforce, and more, making the integration process straightforward for retailers. The platform counts Adidas, Callaway, Reebok, and Perry Ellis amongst its customers.
