Fuel, convenience retail, and terminal operations across North America
Global Partners operates a fuel and convenience retail network backed by a modern data stack (Snowflake, dbt, Dagster, Alteryx, Tableau) that sits atop 1,000+ store locations. The hiring shape is heavily skewed toward operations and junior staff—roughly 75% of open roles are ops-focused—suggesting labor-intensive store and terminal management dominates headcount; the parallel investment in analytics tooling (BI, orchestration, transformation) signals an effort to extract margin from high-volume, low-touch retail logistics.
Notable leadership hires: Director Purchasing, Engineering Director
