WHO WE ARE

Audicus is a fast-growing health-tech company based in New York City. We are changing the hearing aid industry with a leading telehealth solution that streamlines the hearing care experience from user testing to product delivery - both for consumers and providers. We are highly mission-driven and have reconnected, transformed and empowered tens of thousands of lives to date.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a Head of Retail to join our team and lead the charge in scaling our newest vertical: Audicus Hearing Centers. We’ve recently launched locations inside two Sam’s Club stores (PA and MD) and are gearing up for nationwide expansion. This role is your chance to build a fast-growing business from the ground up, crafting and executing a scalable growth strategy to bring Audicus Hearing Centers to hundreds of locations.

As a key leader reporting directly to the CEO, you'll oversee the retail teams, own P&L responsibilities, and build the infrastructure to scale this business. We’re looking for a hands-on builder with expertise in retail sales, particularly scaling “store-in-store” concepts, and a proven record of starting & building strategic relationships with large retail partners.  You thrive on tackling challenges, thinking analytically, and delivering innovative solutions to drive sustainable growth—all while obsessing over user experience and customer psychology.

This is a unique opportunity to be part of a company that is disrupting an industry and is making a lasting positive social impact in people’s lives. 

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Own and drive our retail partnerships, ensure we have strong relationships at every level - executive decision-makers, merchants, in-store staff, etc.
  • Develop and drive the expansion strategy with the retail partners
  • Lead, inspire and develop our in-store teams, including creating and communicating the sales incentive plans for these teams
  • Develop and optimize the sales & marketing tactics to drive success in retail
  • Develop and execute the strategy to efficiently and effectively expand retail from 2 locations to hundreds, leading the build-out of the infrastructure to support the expansion
  • Capture the synergies of having both a DTC and retail business such that both businesses benefit from the other

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • 10+ years of experience in retail sales management
  • Must have led significant sales teams, preferably retail sales teams that are geographically dispersed
  • Experience in consumer or healthcare technology startups and omni-channel retail is a plus.
  • Highly metrics-driven, having built up and optimized retail sales funnels and analytics
  • Experience in starting & scaling “store in store” concepts is a major plus
  • Needs to be comfortable in a fast-paced environment where resources are constrained and therefore creativity, tenacity and methodical, hands-on problem solving are a must

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.

Salary: $130k-180k  (commensurate with experience)

Benefits: Medical/Dental/Vision through Aetna; 401K, telehealth, commuter benefits, Paid Parental Leave, Flexible PTO, Paid Sick Leave

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
