And, we’re entering one of the most exciting chapters in our journey.

Build the Future of Eyewear Retail

Most e-commerce businesses sell products but at Specscart, we’re solving one of the most complicated customer journeys in retail.

Buying prescription glasses today is unnecessarily complicated. Customers need to understand prescriptions, lens options, coatings, measurements, PDs, frame sizing and hundreds of product combinations before they even reach the checkout.

We believe that shouldn’t be the case. And the mission is simple:

To make buying prescription eyewear as simple as buying a pair of shoes online.

We’re looking for an exceptional Product Head to help us achieve exactly that. This isn’t a role for someone who simply wants to manage an e-commerce website. This is an opportunity to redefine an entire industry.
