ABOUT THE RETAIL TEAM
- Retail is Sierra’s largest industry — more than 100 live deployments spanning apparel and beauty, grocery and big-box, home and auto, consumer services, marketplaces, and consumer technology. Our agents help millions of shoppers and members every day: tracking and returning orders, finding the right product, booking services, and resolving issues in each brand’s own voice.
- Retail is also where AI agents go beyond support to generate revenue. From product discovery and personalized recommendations to cart recovery, win-back campaigns, and in-store support that turns unanswered store calls into visits and sales, our team is redefining what an agent can do for a brand’s top line — not just its cost line.
- Join us to transform how the world’s most-loved consumer brands engage their customers — and help build technology that makes shopping more personal, effortless, and delightful for everyone.
