Global womenswear retailer operating 300+ stores across 10 countries
Forever New is a womenswear brand with 1,000+ employees operating physical and digital retail across 10 countries from Melbourne HQ. The tech stack reveals a retail operations and marketing infrastructure—Excel, Meta/Instagram, Databricks, Power BI, Emarsys—rather than homegrown engineering. Active hiring is heavily sales-focused (103 of 125 roles), aligned with store expansion, while projects cluster around supply-chain optimization (stock allocation, open-to-buy), compliance frameworks, and recruitment process improvements. Pain points reflect typical mid-market retail scaling challenges: data accuracy, system integration gaps, and international trade compliance.
Forever New designs and sells womenswear across multiple age groups, operating 300+ stores in 10 countries alongside ecommerce channels. The brand was founded in 2006 in Australia and has grown into a 1,001–5,000-person business with teams in head office (Melbourne), retail locations, and a distribution center. The company competes on product curation and omnichannel presence rather than technology differentiation; operations rely on standard retail and marketing platforms (Databricks, Power BI, Emarsys, Adobe Creative Cloud) for analytics, email, and creative work. Current focus spans supply-chain efficiency, compliance governance, and talent acquisition to support ongoing expansion.
