Global athletic apparel and footwear company with retail, digital, and performance solutions
Under Armour operates a retail-heavy apparel and footwear business with strong digital presence through mobile apps and omni-channel campaigns. The hiring mix reveals a sales-led organization (443 sales roles vs. 14 engineering) focused on SKU productivity, inventory management, and margin targets—classic retail pain points. Tech stack leans heavily toward design (Adobe Creative Suite, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhino) and merchandising (Salesforce, Tableau, SAP, Adobe Experience Manager), with cloud data infrastructure (Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, SageMaker) supporting business intelligence rather than product innovation.
