- Review inspection reports, flag quality issues, and follow up on corrective actions
- Support AQL standards and help maintain consistent quality across vendors
Logistics & Cross-Functional Coordination
- Coordinate shipping schedules, bookings, and delivery timelines with factories, freight forwarders, and the warehouse
- Track inbound shipments and resolve delays, shortages, or documentation issues
- Serve as the primary point of contact between Production and Design, Merchandising, Sales, and Warehouse teams to keep all parties aligned on timelines and status

- 1–3+ years of experience in apparel production, product development, or a related role (streetwear, denim, or athleisure experience a plus)
- Working knowledge of an ERP/PLM system
- Understanding of garment construction, tech packs, and spec measurements across wovens, knits, denim, and accessories
- Highly organized with strong follow-up skills and the ability to manage multiple styles and deadlines simultaneously
