Title: Fashion Production Manager
Company: The Kape
Location: Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Fashion Production Manager The Kape
The Kape is a Dubai-based contemporary fashion brand known for elevated design, quality craftsmanship, and an obsessive attention to detail — from fabric sourcing to final finish. We're growing fast, and we're looking for a Fashion Production Manager to own our production process end-to-end and help us scale without compromising on quality.
The Role
You'll be the bridge between design and delivery — taking collections from first sample to bulk production, on time, on budget, and to spec. You'll work daily with our design, pattern-making, sourcing, and factory teams, solving problems before they become delays and keeping every stage of production tightly documented and on track.
This is a hands-on, on-site role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and genuinely loves the craft of garment-making.
What You'll Do
- Own the production process from sample development through bulk manufacturing, managing schedules and workflow across every stage
- Review samples and fittings, catching and resolving technical or quality issues early
- Track materials and trims, ensuring availability and quality across the production cycle
- Liaise with suppliers and factories to negotiate costs, lead times, and quality standards
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date production documentation
- Manage production budgets and costing with a close eye on efficiency
- Identify and implement process improvements that raise quality and speed without adding waste
- Ensure every stage of production complies with company standards and policies
What You Bring
- Proven experience in fashion production management — planning, workflow coordination, and vendor management
- Strong technical knowledge of garment construction, pattern development, fabrics, trims, and quality control
- A track record of managing timelines and budgets, including supplier negotiation and inventory oversight
- Comfort with production/planning software and strong Excel and documentation skills
- Sharp problem-solving instincts and the composure to handle a deadline-driven environment
- Excellent communication skills — you'll be coordinating across design, technical, and factory teams daily
- Industry experience in women's wear or contemporary apparel preferred; familiarity with Dubai or regional markets is a plus
- A degree or diploma in Fashion Production, Fashion Design, Textile Engineering, or a related field is preferred
Why The Kape
Join a growing brand at the center of one of the region's most dynamic fashion markets. You'll have real ownership over how our collections come to life, room to shape and improve our production process, and a collaborative team that values craftsmanship as much as you do.
