Senior Enterprise Account Executive - Government Sales

About us:

From our pioneering origins in New Zealand, Oritain has become a global leader in applying forensic and data science to verify the origin of products and raw materials. Proving Origin is what we do, leading change for a better future. Our unique solution provides data insights and scientific traceability that helps some of the biggest brands, manufacturers, suppliers, and law enforcement agencies in the world to understand more about where products originate from, helping to build trust and integrity within supply chains whilst reducing the impact on the environment and society by tackling issues such as deforestation and modern slavery.  Founded in 2008 in Dunedin, New Zealand, we are now global with additional hubs in Auckland, London, Washington D.C., and Zug. 

Employees in the Public/Government sector use and wear cotton – whether it be a medical mask, military uniform or bedding in a hospital in a conflict zone. The source of these items is critical to ensure they adhere to UFLPA guidelines – and that is where we can help.
