Greek retail and wholesale operator with 285+ stores across grocery chains
METRO AEBE is a publicly listed Greek retailer operating since 1976, with over 11,500 employees across three store chains (METRO Cash & Carry wholesale, My market, and My market Local) plus a Cyprus wholesale location. The tech stack reflects a retail operations focus—Oracle, SQL Server, and .NET for backend systems—but the hiring mix (sales-heavy, 31 roles) and active projects (energy monitoring, store compliance, traffic studies) suggest the company is currently prioritizing operational efficiency and compliance automation over digital transformation.
