**_**About Us_

Gesture is a relationship technology company redefining how brands engage, convert, and retain customers through data-driven, real-world experiences.

Our flagship platform, Reach360, enables brands to execute what we call Tangible Personable Marketing—combining the precision of digital targeting with the emotional impact of physical delivery. Unlike traditional MarTech, Gesture owns the entire ecosystem: first-party data, intelligent audience selection, logistics execution, real-time performance tracking, and continuous optimization.

On the consumer side, Gesture operates a rapidly growing mobile platform that allows people to send meaningful physical gestures instantly—creating powerful moments while generating rich behavioral data that strengthens everything we build.

Where We're Headed

Gesture is investing aggressively in AI-driven intelligence to power the next generation of marketing and commerce using a gift-centric approach. Our roadmap focuses on:

We're building intelligence that anticipates, adapts, and compounds—predicting intent, optimizing campaigns in real time, and delivering deeply personalized experiences driven by real-world behavior, all through systems that continuously learn and improve with every interaction.

This is not surface-level automation. We're building intelligence directly into the core of how campaigns are planned, executed, and measured—at scale.

At Gesture, you're not joining a static MarTech company. You're joining a team building the infrastructure for how brands will compete in a post-digital-fatigue world.

What We're Looking For:

PROBLEM SOLVING AND A SOLUTION PROVIDER

This role supports both our B2B and consumer platforms and plays a direct role in how data turns into decisions, performance, and growth. You'll work closely with data, marketing, and product teams to build the pipelines and tooling that power targeting, attribution, optimization, and experimentation. **
