GPA operates one of Brazil's largest food retail enterprises—765+ physical stores plus dominant e-commerce presence—built on a multi-format model spanning premium (Pão de Açúcar) and value (Extra) banners. With 1,650+ active hiring roles heavily weighted toward sales (889) and operations (539), alongside significant junior/intern intake, the company is in aggressive scaling mode. Core pain points cluster around inventory discrepancies, loss prevention, and food safety, all addressable through stronger data integration—yet the tech stack shows mature BI tools (Power BI, SAP, BigQuery, Teradata) and some automation (Airflow, Alteryx) with no ETL or supply-chain optimization platforms adopted, suggesting operational data quality remains a friction point despite available tooling.
