Funko is a public consumer goods company built around licensed pop culture collectibles—vinyl figures, toys, plush, apparel, and housewares. The tech stack reflects a traditional retail-manufacturing hybrid: ERP (Dynamics NAV, Business Central), design tools (Adobe suite, ZBrush), and marketing automation (Klaviyo, Power BI). Hiring velocity is accelerating across marketing, design, and ops, while pain points cluster around inventory management, margin pressure, and supply-chain execution—typical of a scaled physical-goods business managing global SKU complexity and local market variation.
Funko (NASDAQ: FNKO) is a publicly traded pop culture lifestyle brand headquartered in Everett, Washington. The company manufactures and distributes vinyl figures, action toys, plush products, apparel, board games, housewares, and digital collectibles under the Funko brand and subsidiary labels including Loungefly, Mondo, and Funko Games. Distribution spans direct-to-consumer e-commerce (Funko.com, Loungefly.com, FunkoEurope.com), company-owned retail locations in Everett and Hollywood, and wholesale partnerships. The organization operates across 1,001–5,000 employees with active operations in the United States, China, United Kingdom, and France.
Core systems include Dynamics NAV and Business Central for ERP, Klaviyo for marketing automation, Power BI for analytics, and the full Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, ZBrush) for design. Meta, TikTok, and Pinterest are social advertising channels. Jira and Asana manage project workflows.
