Outdoor apparel retailer with environmental mission and global DTC operations
Patagonia runs a multi-channel retail and DTC operation across North America and Europe, anchored in Salesforce Commerce Cloud and Bloomreach for merchandising. Active hiring spans sales, marketing, and operations roles across seven countries — with a mid-level hiring bias — while projects focus on seasonal demand planning, store expansion, and inventory optimization. The pain-point mix (seasonal order volume, demand forecasting accuracy, pre-season buy balancing) reflects the operational complexity of managing apparel seasonality at scale.
