You're excited about building a product and creating a market that hasn't been done before. You have a strong bias toward action when you are stuck but are not afraid to ask for help when you need to. You're high agency, and eager to test new ways of doing things, taking advantage of the freedom and culture an early stage startup can afford you. You're eager to lead the company's engagement with category leaders in a variety of industries, solving some of their biggest challenges.
We have an exciting opportunity for an "athlete" reporting directly to Safari AI's CEO to manage the non-engineering side of the company, Go To Market (GTM), which include business operations, supporting founder-led sales, growth marketing and client success. You’ll execute mission-critical day-to-day tasks while also delivering the company’s most pressing strategic initiatives to help scale the business.
Safari AI uses computer vision to provide enterprises the ability to auto-measure the most important physical activity in their operations. Our clients point their own IP cameras inside and outside their theme parks, stores, buildings and other property to gather mission-critical data and insights using Safari AI's proprietary technology. Safari AI's clients are finally getting reliable and automated counts, throughput, utilization, dwell times, live wait times, and a number of other KPI's, replacing manual measuring, antiquated hardware and oftentimes no measuring at all. Safari AI is serving category-defining companies in Theme Parks, CRE, Transportation, Hospitality, Retail, and QSR/Restaurants. Click on the media below for specific client use cases.
