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.

This role reports to Lily Carne, Global Commercial Director

I’m still pinching myself that I can contribute to a company that solves a serious problem to improve outcomes for retailers and police globally as well as keep our communities safe. I am motivated by impact, and with a background in Law, Legal Tech and Management Consulting I am incredibly passionate about business growth and transformation, especially at the intersection between technology and commercial strategy. As the Global Commercial Director at Auror, my goal is to enable customer, sales and revenue growth across the US, UK, Australia and NZ. I love the variety that comes with a high-growth company and I thrive in collaborative environments where I can work alongside passionate, creative, and driven teammates to solve meaningful problems to change people’s lives for the better. Outside of work, you’ll either find me at a dog park with my family’s border collie, taking the opportunity to escape into a good book, or spending quality time with my friends and family (red wine in hand)!
