Italian luxury sneaker brand scaling omnichannel retail globally
Golden Goose is a Venice-born luxury fashion house built around handcrafted sneakers and accessories, now operating across 24+ countries with 1,000+ employees. The hiring mix is heavily sales-skewed (127 of 161 active roles), paired with discrete design and merchandising teams—a signal of a brand-led, wholesale-distribution model rather than direct-to-consumer tech. Active projects center on omnichannel sales infrastructure, personalized product co-creation, and inventory optimization, while pain points cluster around customer segmentation and stock management, indicating the company is modernizing fulfillment operations to support growth beyond flagship stores.
Golden Goose designs and distributes luxury footwear, apparel, and accessories under an Italian craftsmanship positioning. The brand originated in Venice in 2000 and built its market presence on the 'sneakerization' of personal luxury goods—high-end sneakers with a signature worn-in aesthetic. The company operates a global footprint spanning Europe, the Americas, Asia, and the Middle East, with workforce and commercial presence across 24 countries. Current operational priorities include expanding omnichannel sales capabilities, building digital tools for customer engagement (including a proprietary Golden App), and improving inventory turnover and supply continuity.
Salesforce for CRM, Microsoft Office suite, Adobe Creative Cloud (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), Blender, Rhino, and AutoCAD for design and 3D work. The company is actively expanding Salesforce adoption across the organization.
Active projects include omnichannel sales integration, customer segmentation via the Golden App, co-creation of personalized sneakers, inventory management improvements, new store openings, and a sneaker maker tour experience. The company is also building digital engagement tools and cataloging unique embroidery designs.
