• Collaborate Across the Business: Partner with Design, Technical, Sourcing, Merchandising, and Supply Chain teams to ensure seamless cross-functional alignment.
• Vendor Management: Work closely with vendors and mills to ensure timely, accurate sample delivery and resolve any production issues quickly.
• Report & Communicate: Provide senior management with clear updates on progress, risks, and key metrics.

What You’ll Bring

• Expert knowledge of garment technology, fit evaluation, and pattern making.
• Strong technical understanding of colour development, raw materials, and quality processes.
• Proven track record of leading and developing high-performing teams.
• Excellent communication and leadership skills — you inspire collaboration and get the best out of people.
• Detail-oriented, highly organised, with strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Confident reporting on development progress and risks to senior stakeholders.

Preferred Skills

• Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite.
