Global luxury lifestyle retailer across apparel, home, fragrance, and hospitality
Ralph Lauren is a publicly traded luxury fashion conglomerate with 10,000+ employees operating across five product categories and multiple owned brands. The tech stack reveals a traditional enterprise retail infrastructure (SAP, Dynamics 365, RFID) currently in flux—adopting Blue Yonder and Logility (supply chain and demand planning) while replacing legacy SAP and Databricks implementations. Hiring is heavily sales-focused (1,010 of 1,338 roles), concentrated at junior and mid levels, suggesting aggressive store expansion and omnichannel staffing rather than platform transformation.
Notable leadership hires: Sales Lead, Organizational Design Lead, Licensing Lead, Coffee Lead, Store Director
