The Client

Grainger, one of the world’s top 10 e-commerce organizations, is a Fortune 250 powerhouse. As their technology ambitions grew, one of their VPs faced the challenge of reorganizing a product and UX organization of 150 people. He needed new leadership that could reshape the way Grainger approached product and UX design, a search that required the right partner.

The Challenge: Rebuilding Leadership in a High-Stakes, Competitive Space

Grainger’s VP needed top-tier product and UX leadership that would revolutionize their approach. With a competitive talent market and a mix of on-site, hybrid, and remote roles, identifying visionary leaders wasn’t easy. Beyond leadership, Grainger sought long-term partners in security, analytics, engineering, business intelligence, and data — critical functions that would shape the company’s digital future.

Our Approach: Transformative Leadership and Beyond

We began with the mission-critical leadership search, placing 10 key product and UX leaders, including senior individual contributors. These placements fundamentally shifted Grainger’s product vision. From there, our partnership expanded across the organization. Whether it was engineering, security, BI, data, operations, finance or marketing, we became the go-to for difficult, high-impact searches.

Our average time to fill? Under four weeks. By aligning closely with Grainger’s internal talent acquisition team, we focused on critical roles where we could deliver the greatest impact.
