BALENCIAGA Assistant Manager, Retail Performance & Omnichannel - Kering

A luxury fashion house just posted a job that tells you everything about where mid-market ops is headed.

Balenciaga (under Kering) is hiring an Assistant Manager to sit at the intersection of CRM, e-commerce, operations, finance, and IT — all focused on omnichannel performance. One person, expected to coordinate across all of it, in real time.

That's not a job description. That's a diagram of exactly what breaks when your CRM doesn't talk to the rest of your business.

If you're running ops or marketing at a mid-market company, you already know this pain. Your CRM lives in one silo, your e-commerce data in another, your finance team works off exports, and IT is three tickets behind. The "seamless customer experience" your leadership keeps asking about is being held together by one overworked person and a spreadsheet they built at 11pm.

The reason companies like Balenciaga hire a dedicated role for this is the same reason you've burned through two CRM implementations already — the software wasn't built to reflect how the business actually runs across channels. So someone has to manually be the connective tissue.

You shouldn't need a full-time employee just to make your CRM talk to your other systems.
