Multi-brand lifestyle retailer scaling tactical apparel and sportswear in Brazil
R.brands operates a portfolio of lifestyle brands (INVICTUS, BR FORCE, GALAPAGOS) focused on performance-oriented apparel, now in active expansion of tactical and military textile offerings. The tech stack is retail-conventional (Shopify, SAP, Power BI, Google Analytics) with recent Claude adoption, signaling early AI experimentation. Hiring momentum is steady across product, marketing, and design—mid-level heavy—while current project velocity centers on conversion optimization, site performance, and import automation, suggesting the company is working to scale both product and e-commerce infrastructure simultaneously.
