Luxury fragrance and home goods house scaling retail and international operations
Diptyque is a Paris-based luxury goods manufacturer founded in 1961, now executing a significant digital and operational infrastructure build. The tech stack reveals a transitional organization: heavy reliance on Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite for design, paired with emerging cloud data infrastructure (Azure, Talend, Tableau) and a CRM implementation currently underway. Hiring is heavily weighted toward sales (51 roles) and marketing (18), with 79 openings in the past 30 days alone—indicating aggressive expansion in e-retail and international channels, though they're actively recruiting for hard-to-fill strategic roles and grappling with sales forecast accuracy and inventory management.
