IWC Schaffhausen is a 1,000+ employee luxury watch manufacturer headquartered in Switzerland, founded in 1868. The company is executing a major retail and customer-systems overhaul: SAP rollout, Salesforce implementation, and retail strategy redesign are all active projects. Hiring velocity is accelerating with 55 open roles weighted heavily toward sales (34) and marketing (11), signaling a shift toward direct-to-consumer and boutique channel management. Pain points around CRM implementation, sales performance, and staffing gaps suggest the org is scaling faster than processes can support.
