Case Study: a major international retailer achieves clear technology career paths with Point B

International Retailer’s Technology Talent Revolution

A major international retailer engaged Point B to address the challenge of streamlining 160 technology jobs into just 50 modern roles. The retailer needed a new talent framework developed on an aggressive timeline to help it compete for skilled workers in a highly competitive job market and support its broader technology-driven growth initiatives.

Point B provided a solution by creating a clean, flexible talent framework built on market-leading practices. Their cross-disciplinary teams identified six core technology disciplines and defined the associated competencies, skills, and career paths. This resulted in standardized job descriptions that gave 1,200 employees clarity on their roles and progression, while also providing the company with an effective new structure for acquiring talent.
