The hiring surge is sales- and marketing-led (28 of 33 active roles), reflecting aggressive expansion into new geographies and retail channels—particularly a 360° Europe launch and retailer activation work. Their tech stack reveals a product-marketing playbook: Adobe Creative Suite + Shopify for brand storytelling and direct commerce, Asana + Workfront for campaign orchestration, and Anaplan + Power BI for scenario modeling around assortment and inventory, suggesting active work to optimize product mix and order fulfillment.
