Omnichannel health & wellness retailer with 780+ stores and direct-to-consumer channels
The Vitamin Shoppe operates a 780+ store footprint plus eCommerce and mobile app, anchored by a sales-driven org scaling rapidly (183 roles posted in the last 30 days, 268 open positions in sales alone). The tech stack clusters around marketing automation (Attentive, Responsys), paid media (Meta, Google, TikTok, Pinterest), and analytics (Tableau, Power BI, Looker Studio), but reveals operational friction: projects span SMS channel roadmaps, inventory accuracy, and seasonal readiness—while pain points directly cite in-stock issues, forecast misalignment, and fulfillment bottlenecks. This signals a company wrestling with supply-chain and demand-planning basics while trying to accelerate sales velocity.
