Production & Fabric Coordinator
Reports to Head of Production
YMC is looking for a Production & Fabric Coordinator to own all fabrics from lab dip through to shipping & invoicing — across our supply chain, as well as offer support to HOP on all Production related tasks. This is a hands-on, detail-driven role for someone with a strong initiative who takes real ownership.
We need someone proactive who can work to tight deadlines, communicate clearly, and problem solve confidently, with experience working under pressure and adhering to a Critical Path.
What you’ll be doing
- Manage fabric pricing, lead times, tech sheets & ordering with mills, from initial sampling through to bulk
- Chase lab dips, handlooms, CADs and strike-offs, and review tech sheets with the Tech department
- Lead cross-costing exercises & source alternative fabrics when required
- Raise and own fabric Purchase Orders against the Critical Path, flagging any at-risk dates early
- Check, code and reconcile fabric & freight invoices with a meticulous eye before sign-off
- Keep fabric charts, stock sheets and Zedonk records accurate and up to date
- Identify and resolve fabric shortages and overages before they affect delivery
- Track fabric testing and compliance documentation (flammability, organic, recycled fibres)
- Coordinate proto and salesman sample delivery against plan dates
What we’re looking for
- 3–4 years’ experience in a production or fabric coordination role, ideally CMT
- Proactive and self-directed — follows up ahead of deadlines without prompting
- Strong initiative & reliable follow-through — trusted to see tasks through to completion
- Clear & concise communicator, confident across departments and with overseas mills and factories
- Strong sense of urgency and good judgement on what’s time-critical
- Comfortable with numbers — consumption calculations, costings, invoice checking
- Confident in Excel (VLOOKUPs); Zedonk experience a plus
- Strong fabric knowledge and a sharp eye for detail
- Fashion-related further education
YMC is a small team — we’re looking for someone proactive who can be trusted to run with things independently, communicate clearly, and act as a genuine extension of the Head of Production.
