  • Oversee BOM accuracy and all technical documentation (patterns, molds, specs, cost sheets, etc.)
  • Drive sample development, testing, and fit validation to ensure production readiness
  • Lead cross-functional meetings (T1, teardown, etc.) with internal teams and factory partners

Stakeholder Management & Collaboration

  • Act as a key liaison between Design, Engineering, Merchandising, QA, and Production teams across regions
  • Build strong partnerships with factories and suppliers to ensure smooth execution
  • Support decision-making and problem-solving across complex development challenges

Process Improvement & Best Practices

  • Identify opportunities to enhance development processes and efficiency
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives across product lifecycle management

Innovation & Industry Engagement

  • Stay updated on new materials, technologies, and manufacturing methods
  • Participate in factory visits, trainings, and global collaboration sessions

Key requirements:

  • Solid understanding of product development lifecycle and seasonal timelines
  • Proven ability to manage complex projects in a fast-paced, global environment

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
