Pepco operates a 4,000+ store estate across Central and Eastern Europe, staffed by over 31,000 employees. The company is migrating to SAP (including SuccessFactors for HR systems), a significant infrastructure shift for a retailer of this scale. Store operations dominate hiring velocity, with sales roles representing 80% of active headcount — typical for retail but underscored by the volume of new-store-opening projects and inventory-management pain points that repeat in both their project and challenge lists.
Pepco is a discount apparel and home-goods retailer founded in 2004, headquartered in Poznań. The company operates over 4,000 stores across 18 European countries: Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria, Italy, Serbia, Spain, Germany, Greece, Portugal, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Nearly 90% of its 31,000-person workforce is store-based; the remainder operate distribution centers and regional offices. The company is actively scaling: it opens a new store daily and is implementing multi-jurisdiction ERP systems to support geographic expansion and operational standardization.
Pepco's core stack is Microsoft (Office 365, Teams, SharePoint, Power BI) and Google (Workspace, Analytics, DV360). Analytics and BI work includes SQL, Python, Databricks, and Power Query. The company is actively adopting SAP, including SuccessFactors for HR.
