DIY retailer operating 640+ stores across Europe and Asia
OBI Italia is a retail-focused division of a 50-year-old DIY chain with 1,001–5,000 employees across Italy. The tech stack is enterprise-standard (Dynamics 365, Tableau, Power BI, MicroStrategy) with no adoption or replacement activity—suggesting mature, stable operations rather than active modernization. Hiring is heavily skewed toward sales (209 roles) and logistics (53 roles), almost entirely junior-level, which reflects a high-volume retail and fulfillment operation scaling store count rather than engineering-driven growth.
Notable leadership hires: Department Head, Sector Head, Head of Department
OBI Italia operates as part of a multi-country DIY and home-improvement retailer spanning Europe and Asia. The company maintains over 640 physical stores and serves customers across 10 countries, with a stated mission to position the brand as the primary destination for home and garden products. Active projects center on store expansion, supply-chain optimization (cross-docking, logistics cost reduction), energy efficiency improvements, and international purchasing. The workforce is primarily junior-level talent deployed in sales and logistics roles, supporting operational execution rather than product or software development.
