Senior Accountant - Cooler Screens

Senior Accountant

Cooler Screens was founded on the core idea that consumers deserve a far better experience than what is available today in bricks-and-mortar retail. We call this concept “CX” and it guides all that we do.  We are on the CX journey to bring what consumers love about shopping on-line into stores. 
 
Cooler Screens is re-imagining the business of brick-and-mortar retail for retailers and brands.  We transform retail surfaces into AI-enabled smart screens that deliver new marketing opportunities and smart merchandising for the ultimate shopper experience. Our AI-driven software solutions allow retailers to create in-store digital experiences for shoppers, and for brands to reach them on dynamic smart screens that adapt to consumer behavior and data-driven context at the point of decision. Cooler Screens is building the world’s first and largest in-store digital media and merchandising platform at the retail point of decision. 
 
Cooler Screens is powered by proprietary innovation and a global network of industry-leading partners.  Global technology, CPG, and retail leaders have partnered with Cooler Screens to be part of this important and rapidly growing industry initiative.   We are backed and led by some of the most prominent Silicon Valley and Chicago leaders, advisers, and investors.
