ABOUT AUROR

At Auror, we’re empowering the retail industry to tackle theft and Organised Retail Crime, a $150 Billion problem globally. It’s high volume crime that’s increasingly organised in nature and is putting people, retailers, and communities at risk every day.

Founded in New Zealand 12 years ago, we’re working with some of the best and largest retailers in the world across the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK. Auror is connecting people and intelligence to reduce crime. We’re using technology for good.

Our mission is clear: reduce violent retail crime by 50% in 5 years. It's an ambitious goal - and one we believe is achievable. In partnership with our leading retail partners, we need people with the passion, determination, and innovation required to overcome one of the world's largest problems. If you’re looking to make a difference with and for the people dedicated to stopping crime, for good, then we want you on our team.

We're also embracing the potential of AI to supercharge our impact - whether that's enhancing the way we detect trends, support our customers, or improve internal workflows. As a company, we're committed to responsibly incorporating AI into how we work and what we build, and we encourage all Aurors to be curious about how AI can elevate their work, regardless of role or function.

THE ROLE

Auror’s mission is to reduce violent crime in retail stores by 50% over the next 5 years and we believe that recognition technology, when deployed with privacy at the forefront, has a major role to play in helping us in achieving this goal.

Our market-leading Risk Recognition modules help retailers to solve and prevent crime by sending real-time alerts to store teams about high-risk individuals entering their locations. This critical intelligence empowers teams to respond proactively, enhancing the safety of both staff and customers and improving loss prevention results. Our customers across the United States are increasing their adoption of Auror’s Vehicle Recognition and Subject Recognition modules; as such, we are seeking a hands-on leader to spearhead the successful implementation of this technology in thousands of retail locations across the US.

As the Recognition Technology Project Lead, you will be at the forefront of Auror's innovative recognition technology. Having deep technical expertise in both License Plate Recognition (LPR) and Facial Recognition (FR) technologies, you will lead end-to-end projects with customers, partnering with a diverse set of internal and external stakeholders, to deliver successful pilots and full-scale rollouts. You’ll become the in-market subject matter expert on Auror’s Vehicle Recognition and Subject Recognition modules, understanding our technical integrations and product capability inside and out. This role requires someone with experience deploying end-to-end solutions that involve both hardware and software, exceptional project management skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively with various internal and external stakeholders.

Location and hours

This is a Denver, Colorado-based role; we value co-location and have a hybrid flexible working model. Our recognition technology product modules are leveraged by customers in New Zealand, Australia, the US, and the US, and while this role is focused on the US, you will need to be flexible with your working hours to effectively support our customers and internal teams globally. This role will also involve some travel to customer sites to provide on-the-ground support for pilots and rollouts, averaging 2–5 days per month.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Project management: Partner with relevant stakeholders to oversee the scoping, design, and delivery of Vehicle Recognition and Subject Recognition pilots and rollouts, both for customers with a handful of sites as well as those with thousands of sites. You’ll act as a project manager for these deployments, ensuring successful planning,
