LOCATION: Shanghai

ABOUT YOUR ROLE:

The Senior Developer, Material Portfolio, Trims is responsible for creating and maintaining scalable trim platforms that support VF brands and product categories. Reporting to the Manager, Material Portfolio, Trims, this role translates brand and product needs into consolidated, reusable, and technically validated trim solutions. The role analyzes trim usage, identifies opportunities to reduce duplication and complexity, and develops core platforms that improve adoption, speed, consistency, cost efficiency, sustainability, and supply resilience across brands.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES WILL INCLUDE:

Trim Platform Creation & Development

  • Create and develop scalable trim platforms across key categories such as zippers, buttons, snaps, labels, tapes, elastics, cords, hardware, and packaging-related trims.
  • Translate common brand and product requirements into core trim constructions, specifications, color or finish options, and application guidelines that can be adopted across multiple products and brands.
  • Develop platform solutions that balance brand relevance with repeatability, technical performance, cost efficiency, sustainability, speed, and supply resilience.
  • Maintain a clear pipeline of new platforms and platform enhancements based on portfolio gaps, product needs, market trends, supplier capability, and innovation opportunities.

Portfolio Analysis, Consolidation & Lifecycle Management

  • Analyze trim usage, specifications, suppliers, cost, performance, and adoption data to identify duplicate, fragmented, low-usage, or overlapping materials.
  • Recommend and execute consolidation opportunities by aligning similar trim requests to existing core materials or by creating common platforms that serve broader business needs.
  • Support lifecycle management of core and seasonal trims, including adoption, performance review, rationalization, replacement, and phase-out.

Platform Validation & Readiness

  • Validate platform constructions, finishes, compatibility, durability, appearance, and end-use performance across intended product applications.
  • Coordinate sampling, testing, risk assessment, trial adoption, and corrective actions with Product Development, Quality, Sustainability, suppliers, and brand material teams.
  • Ensure approved platforms have complete specifications, testing records, application guidance, supplier information, and digital assets for reliable adoption and commercialization.

Cross-Brand Adoption & Stakeholder Collaboration

  • Partner with brand material teams, Design, Product Development, Material Sourcing, Quality, and Sustainability to identify shared needs and embed platform solutions into seasonal development.
  • Present platform options, consolidation recommendations, technical trade-offs, and business benefits clearly to support timely material decisions.
  • Work with suppliers and internal partners to resolve technical barriers and improve the usability, relevance, and adoption of core trim platforms.

Digital Portfolio, Analytics & Continuous Improvement

  • Maintain accurate trim metadata, specifications, images, supplier details, lifecycle status, and platform relationships in PLM and material library systems.
  • Track platform adoption, trim proliferation, material utilization, consolidation progress, and portfolio gaps to support data-driven decisions.
  • Continuously improve platform-development and portfolio-review processes to reduce redundant requests, increase core-material adoption, and simplify the overall trims portfolio.

WHAT WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR IN YOU:

Technical Expertise

  • Strong knowledge of trim categories, constructions, finishes, manufacturing processes, performance characteristics, and product applications.
  • Demonstrated capability in creating scalable material platforms, comparing specifications, identifying commonality, and converting multiple requirements into consolidated solutions.
  • Working knowledge of material testing, quality, sustainability, compliance, costing, supplier capability, and lifecycle management.

Leadership & Collaboration

  • Proven ability to lead and develop small teams.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills to influence cross-functional stakeholders.
  • Ability to build trusted relationships across teams and suppliers.

Analytical & Strategic Thinking

  • Strong analytical capability to interpret material usage, specifications, adoption, supplier, cost, and performance data and turn findings into portfolio actions.
  • Ability to manage multiple platform-development and consolidation projects, align stakeholders, and deliver against seasonal and longer-range priorities.
  • Experience with PLM, ERP, or material library systems is a plus.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM US:

  • Being a part of a movement that is Purpose led which enables us to have a positive impact on communities around the world, it gives greater meaning to the work we do.
  • Working with a team of diverse and sharp minds that work with an inclusive and global mindset because our differences are what make us stronger together.
