ABOUT BLACKCURVE

BlackCurve is a fast-moving London-based SaaS pricing optimisation platform that helps high-profile online and offline retailers make smarter pricing decisions.

We’re on a mission to help retailers manage and optimise the price of every item they sell to achieve their business goals.


ABOUT THE TEAM

Many retail businesses still manage their pricing on Excel, and rely on traditional pricing techniques that do not maximise profit opportunities. This presents a fantastic opportunity for us to help more retail businesses grow.

ROLE SUMMARY

We are an ambitious and talented team from a wide range of backgrounds. We leverage new technologies to help retailers drastically improve their profitability. We're developing powerful products that rely on huge data sets and smart analytics created by experienced engineers and data scientists.

We’re looking for someone who’s excited about implementing new technologies. Who can confidently communicate technical products. Who can assess clients requirements and communicate this internally to our development teams. Who recognises that growing businesses require people to wear many hats and isn’t afraid to roll their sleeves up.

You will work with our sales executives at all points through the sales process. You will represent the technical side of the business to prospective clients with support from our tech team. You will be directly responsible for the growth of the business through closing sales allowing us to smash our milestones.
