Large-format western and workwear retailer with 1,000+ stores across North America
Boot Barn operates the largest western and workwear retail footprint in the US, with a tech stack tilted toward point-of-sale and customer analytics (React Native, Google Analytics 4, BigQuery, Python/scikit-learn for modeling). The hiring profile is sales-heavy (972 sales roles, mostly junior) with acute pain around inventory accuracy, shrink reduction, and meeting store sales targets—suggesting a high-volume, labor-intensive operation where operational efficiency and loss prevention are critical constraints on profitability.
