Business owners usually define the problem and budget, while technology, data, security, finance, procurement, privacy, legal, and operations teams validate fit and risk. For merchandising, store, marketplace, retail media, and supply-chain products, the buying committee often spans several functions because customer experience and operating execution are tightly linked.
How is Carvana organized as it scales?
Carvana combines headquarters strategy with field, store, marketplace, distribution, product, and customer teams. Sellers should identify the business metric first, then map the executive sponsor, technical owner, procurement path, implementation team, and security/privacy reviewers.
