About Springboard

We are renowned for our data accuracy, innovative technology, and tailored solutions.

We are recognised as the market leader in delivering data to track the performance of high streets, with our service spanning footfall counting, sales tracking, Wi-Fi tracking and benchmarking. The growth of Springboard’s high street business to date has been exponential, and this has led to the identification of even more opportunities for growth that it wants to capitalise on. Springboard currently operates in over 300 towns and cities across the UK, but it has identified significant opportunities for continued growth.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our team of motivated, creative, and talented individuals working to deliver unrivalled service and insights to retail destinations. The driving force of our success is our determination to grow our business, ensuring our customers become our partners.
