Direct-to-consumer sleep brand scaling across 35+ countries with D2C ops and marketing focus
Emma operates a global D2C sleep business built on AWS infrastructure (Redshift, Kubernetes, Prometheus) with heavy data pipelines (dbt, SQL, Python) feeding marketing analytics (Google Ads, Looker). Hiring skews toward operations and marketing (24 each) rather than engineering (11), reflecting a retail-operations-first culture; notably, the company is recruiting for senior roles across sales, marketing, and commercial leadership while simultaneously wrestling with logistics optimization and marketing ROI — a pattern typical of scaling D2C platforms hitting capital-efficiency constraints.
Notable leadership hires: Commercial Director, Marketing Director, Category Lead, Head of Japan, Head of Finance
