Job: Staff Product Designer at Zenreach
Posted: March 13th, 2018 | Author: Mark Connolly | Filed under: Jobs | Tags: job | No Comments »Zenreach was created to solve one of the most important problems in the modern economy—the majority of our time is being spent online, yet over 90% of purchasing still happens offline — and there is no link between the two systems. Brick-and-mortar merchants are working decades behind their online counterparts without essential data and tools. We created Zenreach to give them the same level of technology and transparency that anyone operating online has come to expect.
Position Summary

Zenreach is backed by leading investors with decades of experience in building enterprise hardware and software. We were also featured as one of the top breakout startups of 2017! Interested in closing the loop between the online and offline worlds? Join us!
