What it does
Every week: job postings for store managers in your cities, one per company, with a note by xMap AI on whether it means a new store, for the expansion team.
In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in Sydney and Melbourne, find companies hiring for “store manager”, remove duplicates, write a summary of each with xMap AI, then email the list to you.
