European fashion retailer scaling omnichannel operations across 100+ stores
Carhartt WIP operates a multi-channel apparel business—100+ physical stores, e-commerce, and wholesale—anchored in Germany but expanding across Europe and Asia. The hiring acceleration (57 roles in 30 days) is concentrated in sales and logistics, paired with active projects in omnichannel integration and automated data feeds, suggesting a push to connect web, app, and physical inventory. Legacy-system modernization and ERP integration dominate the pain-point list, indicating they're mid-transformation from siloed platforms toward unified operations.
Notable leadership hires: Director Finance, Art Director, Finance Director
