Luxury fashion retail with omnichannel operations across Canada
Holt Renfrew operates a six-store luxury retail footprint plus e-commerce, anchored on an enterprise Microsoft + SAP infrastructure. The hiring acceleration—68 roles posted in 30 days—is heavily sales-focused (67 of 98 active roles), alongside meaningful security hires, signaling active loss-prevention work. Active projects span loyalty programs, omnichannel messaging, and store audit infrastructure, while pain points cluster around inventory control, shrinkage, and compliance—operational challenges typical of multi-location retail networks.
