- Support sustainability goals by working with ethically aligned suppliers and partners
EXPERIENCE REQUIRED
- 5+ years' experience in production management (apparel, accessories, or similar)
- Strong understanding of local manufacturing, raw materials, and supplier relationships
- Experienced in systems (Indigo8 preferred) and open to using AI and tech tools
- A self-sufficient operator who is highly organised and deadline-driven
- Great at negotiation, cost control, and problem-solving
- Collaborative, level-headed, and curious about other parts of the business
- Strong attention to detail - especially important for international markets with high QC standards
- Comfortable in a fast-paced business with evolving product lines and tight timelines
