From conversational AI search and cross‑language product discovery to autonomous merchandising recommendations and AI‑powered shopping assistants, Nosto combines large language models, vector search, real‑time behavioral intelligence, and purpose‑built AI agents into a unified platform used by leading global brands. As retailers increasingly move toward AI‑driven commerce operations, Nosto is positioning itself as one of the category leaders shaping the future of intelligent, adaptive, and omnichannel shopping experiences.

As a Senior Business Development manager at Nosto, you’ll help solve one of the biggest challenges in retail today: delivering authentic, relevant shopping experiences that drive results. We believe in listening closely to customers and achieving big things by making steady progress every day.
