Does your company have a Head of Conversational Shopping, yet?
Inspired by Rajiv Mehta's title at Amazon ("Vice President, Search and Conversational Shopping"), I thought I should pose this question: Does your company have a Head (or Director) of Conversational Shopping?
The answer, based on my 30-minutes of LinkedIn-browsing, is: No.
I found dozens and dozens of individuals with Conversational Shopping in their current job titles, but all of them, exclusively, are working at Amazon.
I found one individual who did hold this post at an Eastern European provider a year or so ago.
But that's it.
I've never found LinkedIn's search capability to be fantastic so I recognise this isn't a comprehensive market scan.
I tried some old favourites in Google - adding brand names like "H&M" and "Marks & Spencer" together with "Conversational AI" and although I discovered lots of interesting posts, I didn't stumble on any specific job roles.
Is Amazon really that far ahead of everyone else?
Or could it be that the term Conversational Shopping is covered by a variety of other job roles in most other companies?
