Global luxury fashion retailer scaling digital and supply-chain operations
Burberry operates a large, geographically distributed retail and design organization (170+ years old, 10,000+ employees) with hiring acceleration across sales, ops, and product roles. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward design tools (Figma, Sketch, Adobe suite) and enterprise systems (SAP, Flex PLM, WMS), reflecting a product-centric supply chain. Recent Terraform adoption signals infrastructure-as-code maturity, while active projects span digital store experience, leather category development, and SharePoint training infrastructure—indicating simultaneous pushes on retail modernization and internal enablement.
Notable leadership hires: Service Lead, Store Director
