Who We Are
Global Supplier Technology (GST) builds the platforms that power Wayfair's supplier ecosystem so that thousands of partners can reliably list, price, fulfill, and service millions of products around the world.
PH Supplier Journeys focuses on the end-to-end experience suppliers have in Partner Home — from onboarding and catalog setup through day-to-day operations like managing assortment, fixing catalog issues, and monitoring performance. We build the foundational services and user experiences that make it simple and intuitive for suppliers to do high-quality work at scale, while ensuring data accuracy, resiliency, and strong internal controls.
We partner closely with Product, Experience Design, Analytics, and many downstream systems across Wayfair to deliver high-impact improvements to supplier productivity, data quality, and business outcomes.
