You will manage our intellectual property, copyrights, and trade secrets while managing our network of multiple entries globally, and entry into new markets.

Due to proprietary information and the nature of this position, if selected, we will request a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) be signed to enable a candid discussion of the role during the interview process.

The retail industry is notorious for its lack of erse representation, and we're very aware of the research showing that women and other historically underrepresented groups are less likely to apply to a job if they don't believe that they meet all of the criteria.Are you hesitant to submit an application because you're not sure if you check every box? Apply anyway!

We would love to hear from you and figure out what you can add to the culture here at Sheertex.
