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.

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.

I joined Auror nearly a year ago after having spent eight years in the SaaS space. I love the NZ tech industry - it's fascinating, it's evolving, it's future-thinking. At Auror, I get to work with passionate people solving a meaningful problem for our customers and making a difference in the world of retail crime.

Within the Finance team at Auror, we're focused on not just financial reporting but also adding value across all teams through business partnering, problem-solving, and insights. As a people leader I'm here to support and guide you, and also want you to feel empowered to make the role your own. Outside of work I enjoy being active through indoor bouldering, taking my dog Gracie for walks, long weekends camping but also love a quiet night in with a movie and great food!
