Product Manager (AdTech SaaS, Boston, MA)
SimplicityDX is reinventing online shopping by enabling customers to buy at the edge. The way that consumers are buying online is changing, with many purchase journeys now starting away from a brand’s website, often on social media. Buyers discover products on social, then click through to buy on the brand’s eCommerce site. Today this shopping journey is often problematic – 81% of consumers have experienced broken experiences when clicking through from social. SimplicityDX fixes this problem and enables brands to drive more revenues from social.
