Job description
The Company
Join one of Australia's fastest-growing multi-brand fashion groups, home to five dynamic labels with a strong retail and online presence. Known for its trend-driven design, accessible price point, and strong retail and online presence, it delivers a diverse range of styles that cater to different customer segments while maintaining a cohesive brand identity. The business operates with an agile, vertically integrated model - overseeing design, production, and distribution - and continues to expand rapidly across both the Australian and international markets.
The Role
Seeking an experienced Head of Production to lead and optimise end-to-end production operations across Australia and China.
This is a senior leadership role for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-SKU fashion environments and can bridge cultural and operational gaps to deliver efficiency, cost control, and commercial success.
You'll be responsible for overseeing all production operations across five labels - ensuring clear communication, tighter timelines, and greater visibility across every stage of the supply chain.
Key responsibilities include:
Oversee production across multiple brands and product categories (approx. 240-300 SKUs/month).
Manage timelines, critical paths, and garment manufacturing processes from concept to delivery.
Lead and mentor both Australian and China-based production teams.
Negotiate costings and terms with offshore factories to maximise margins.
Identify inefficiencies or double-handling and implement streamlined systems.
Strengthen reporting and visibility across the production cycle.
What We're Looking For
Fluent in Mandarin (essential) - able to communicate confidently with factories and the China-based team.
A commercial, solutions-focused mindset with strong negotiation and leadership skills.
Proven success managing offshore production and multiple stakeholders.
Deep understanding of garment manufacturing, timelines, and cost management.
Experience working across multi-brand, high-volume fashion environments.
Strong leadership presence - capable of setting structure, driving accountability, and empowering teams.
