KEEN Tech Stack
Outdoor footwear brand scaling supply chain and demand planning
KEEN is a Portland-based footwear company built around seasonal collections and hybrid product innovation since 2003. The hiring mix—dominated by sales (9 roles) and marketing (7)—paired with active projects around forecasting, costing strategy, and sell-thru optimization, signals a shift from pure product focus toward supply-chain maturity and revenue predictability. Pain points around inventory risk and lost sales due to stockouts underscore the operational tension between demand forecasting and production planning.
