Retail & D2C Hiring

Retail & E-Commerce Recruitment

Recruitment for retail chains, e-commerce platforms, and D2C brands — store operations, merchandising, supply chain, and digital commerce leadership.

Talent for India's Retail Transformation

India's retail landscape is being reshaped by the rapid growth of e-commerce and omnichannel retail, alongside the continued expansion of organised retail chains across tier-1 and tier-2 cities. This dual growth — physical retail expansion and digital commerce scaling — has created strong demand for talent that can operate across both worlds.

MMC's retail and e-commerce practice supports large retail chains, fashion and lifestyle brands, e-commerce platforms, and D2C startups across hiring needs ranging from store operations and visual merchandising to category management, supply chain, and digital marketing for online channels.

Our consultants understand the operational intensity of retail hiring — store managers and frontline staff are often needed at scale across multiple locations — as well as the fast-paced, metrics-driven culture of e-commerce and D2C businesses where growth and performance marketing roles are critical.
