Global eyewear manufacturer with 30+ brands across luxury, lifestyle, and sports
Safilo is a vertically integrated eyewear producer with a portfolio spanning fashion luxury (Boss, Carolina Herrera, Missoni), mainstream lifestyle (Tommy Hilfiger, Kate Spade, Carrera), and sports (Smith, Under Armour). The tech stack is enterprise-heavy—SAP core systems (ECC, S/4HANA, BW, EWM, BPC), Salesforce for CRM and commerce, Tableau for BI—reflecting a manufacturing-and-distribution operation managing global supply chain, inventory, and multi-brand sales. Current hiring is sales-led (29 of 53 active roles), signaling focus on revenue growth and territory expansion rather than product or platform work.
Safilo Group designs, manufactures, and distributes eyewear across optical frames, sunglasses, sports eyewear, and helmets. Founded in 1934 in Italy's Veneto region, the company operates as a public company with 1,001–5,000 employees across 12+ countries. The business model integrates production and distribution—enabling end-to-end supply-chain visibility—and serves consumer segments from fashion luxury to mass-market segments via a portfolio of more than 30 owned and licensed brands. Active projects center on sales-process refinement, demand forecasting, and sustainable growth mechanics, while pain points cluster around profitability, forecast accuracy, and demand planning.
