Trusted by SaaS businesses – from scaling start-ups to established market leaders
Retail is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Whether driven by automation, omnichannel experiences, AI personalisation, supply chain digitalisation, or real-time analytics, RetailTech now sits at the heart of commercial success. Hiring the right specialists — those who understand both retail operations and advanced technology — is essential. Live Digital supports RetailTech start-ups, SaaS platforms, and enterprise retailers with recruitment solutions that combine sector insight with digital expertise.
RetailTech sits at the intersection of commerce, customer behaviour, and digital innovation. As retailers adapt to shifting consumer expectations, supply chain pressures, and rapid e-commerce growth, technology has become the foundation of resilience and competitive advantage.
Key RetailTech developments shaping the industry include:
RetailTech companies require talent who can blend operational realities with advanced digital capability. Live Digital bridges this gap by connecting retail-forward businesses with engineers, data experts, product leaders, and growth professionals who deliver measurable impact.
The UK is one of the world’s strongest RetailTech markets, with activity concentrated across several major regions. London remains the core hub, home to e-commerce platforms, retail analytics companies, mobile payment innovators, and large-scale consumer technology businesses. Areas such as Shoreditch, Farringdon, White City, and King’s Cross are particularly active for retail data science, AI personalisation engines, and omnichannel SaaS platforms.
Across the South East, Surrey, Hertfordshire, and Kent support a mix of retail supply chain technology, automation software, and digital customer experience platforms. Meanwhile, Manchester and Liverpool have grown into significant RetailTech locations, particularly for enterprise commerce platforms, consumer behaviour analytics, and retail operations technology.
The Midlands — especially Birmingham and Nottingham — hosts a mix of logistics technology, payments innovation, and retail SaaS tools supporting regional and national chains. Scotland’s Edinburgh and Glasgow are emerging as strong RetailTech contributors, particularly within data analytics, payments, and AI-driven shopper insight.
RetailTech requires a blend of technology, data, product, and commercial expertise. At Live Digital, we source talent across engineering roles such as backend, frontend, cloud, DevOps, and software development, where individuals build scalable platforms responsible for personalisation, payments, logistics, and customer engagement. Alongside engineering, RetailTech success depends heavily on data-driven roles — data scientists, analysts, and machine learning specialists who interpret behavioural data, forecasting models, and predictive analytics to drive smarter retail decisions.
Product expertise is another crucial pillar of the RetailTech landscape. We support hiring for product managers and product owners who translate user needs, retail workflows, and commercial requirements into clear product roadmaps. UX and design candidates also play a vital role, shaping shopper journeys across web, mobile, and in-store environments. On the commercial side, we recruit growth marketers, partnership leads, customer success specialists, and business development professionals who support the adoption of RetailTech SaaS solutions within retail chains, e-commerce operations, and global consumer brands.
Operationally, RetailTech companies also rely on specialists in supply chain optimisation, warehouse automation, digital merchandising, and inventory intelligence. From workforce management SaaS to robotics-led fulfilment systems, we help businesses hire cross-functional professionals who understand the dynamic nature of retail operations.
We understand the complexities of retail operations as well as the demands of modern SaaS businesses — enabling us to identify candidates who can operate across both technology and consumer environments.
We prioritise candidates who understand compliance, GDPR, and data governance — essential for consumer data platforms and retail analytics tools.
RetailTech roles often require rare combinations of skills — AI experience with retail analytics, e-commerce product expertise with engineering knowledge, or supply chain understanding with data modelling. We specialise in sourcing these hybrid profiles.
