Sysco is a $81B-revenue food-service distributor serving ~730,000 customer locations across restaurants, healthcare, education, and hospitality. The company runs a heavily ops and logistics-focused hiring engine (801 active roles in those two departments alone), with acute pain points around inventory management, sales velocity, and cost control — classic challenges for a network-based distribution business scaling across geographies. Security and compliance tooling (SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, Tanium, Zscaler, SAP, Workday) dominates the stack, reflecting the complexity of managing food safety, supply-chain audits, and workforce coordination across 76,000 employees.
