Running footwear and apparel company scaling global operations
Brooks manufactures and retails running shoes, apparel, and accessories, built on a 110-year heritage rooted in Seattle. The tech stack reveals a mature retail operation: Salesforce Commerce Cloud anchors e-commerce, Workday and Active Directory handle HR infrastructure, and Manhattan + Infor Nexus manage supply chain and order execution. A product-heavy hiring mix (13 roles) paired with active projects in material science, seasonal footwear development, and store expansion signals investment in both physical and digital retail channels. Early adoption of RAG suggests exploration of AI-driven customer experiences or internal documentation systems.
