Title: Sourcing Manager
Company: JIVARO Recruitment
Location: Sydney, New South Wales, Australia
We’re partnering with a fast-growing global fashion brand to recruit a Sourcing Manager who will play a critical role in shaping the future of its supplier and fabric ecosystem.
This is a highly strategic, sourcing-led role within a digitally native fashion business known for its elevated aesthetic, rapid growth, and strong product focus. The brand has built a loyal global customer base through premium design, trend relevance, and exceptional fit and fabrication, and is now investing further into building world-class sourcing capability.
This opportunity will suit someone who thrives in a fast-paced, fashion-forward environment and has a passion for supplier strategy, fabric innovation, and premium product execution.
The Role
Sitting at the intersection of Design, Product Development, Sustainability, and Production, you will lead the sourcing strategy across global suppliers and mills, ensuring the business is supported by best-in-class partners capable of delivering quality, speed, and commercial performance.
This role is far more than production management; it is focused on building supplier capability, developing sourcing strategy, elevating fabrics, and supporting scalable growth globally.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Develop and execute the global sourcing strategy across multiple product categories
• Build and maintain a diversified network of high-performing factories and mills globally
• Identify and onboard best-in-class suppliers aligned to the brand aesthetic and quality standards
• Lead fabric sourcing and mill relationships, including exclusive and innovative fabric developments
• Build a consolidated fabric library focused on quality, consistency, sustainability, and margin optimisation
• Negotiate pricing, MOQs, and supplier terms to deliver strong commercial outcomes
• Improve speed to market through sourcing efficiencies and critical path alignment
• Establish sourcing standards across testing, compliance, quality, and supplier performance
• Partner closely with Design and Product teams to bring collections to life with the right fabrics and factory capabilities
• Monitor supplier performance across quality, lead times, responsiveness, and delivery
• Proactively identify sourcing risks and implement contingency strategies
What We’re Looking For
• Strong experience in fashion sourcing, supplier management, or fabric development
• Background working within high-growth, product-led fashion brands
• Deep understanding of global factories, mills, and premium fabrications
• Strong commercial negotiation skills and margin awareness
• Experience building supplier strategies and sourcing frameworks, not just managing production
• Strong understanding of fabric testing, quality standards, and sourcing compliance
• Ability to balance speed, quality, and commercial outcomes in a fast-moving environment
• Collaborative mindset with strong cross-functional communication skills
Why This Role
• Join a global fashion brand experiencing significant international growth
• Work within a highly creative, digitally native, product-focused environment
• Play a key role in shaping the future sourcing and supplier strategy of the business
• Collaborate closely with a passionate and ambitious leadership team
