The hiring mix is overwhelmingly sales-focused (1,145 of 1,326 roles), with junior-level velocity accelerating across stores, while active projects around data infrastructure optimization, ecommerce modernization, and master data management signal internal pressure to reduce operational drag and integrate fragmented systems across retail, wholesale, and digital channels.
