  • Provide technical color expertise when evaluating seasonal color and fabric combinations
  • Maintain and organize physical and digital lab dip libraries
  • Track color approval status across multiple seasons and categories, proactively communicating risks, delays, color fastness concerns, or shade execution issues.
  • Maintain accurate records in PLM systems, including color comments, approvals, colorfastness results, and ETAs
  • Participate in cross-functional meetings, document color-related action items, and drive follow-up with internal and external partners.

Qualifications

Who you are:

  • Bachelor's degree in Textile Science, Material Development, Product Development, or equivalent years of experience preferred.
  • 3+ years of color development
  • Superior score on the Munsell Hue Test
  • Knowledge of dyes and dyeing techniques for varied fiber contents and fabric structures
  • Knowledge of industry color fastness testing standards
  • Understanding of visual and instrumental color evaluation procedures with accurate and consistent technique: ability to use light box
  • Strong understanding of textile construction, performance attributes, dyeing, finishing, and fabric commercialization processes.
  • Experience working in PLM systems; familiarity with Centric PLM is a plus.
  • Strong communication skills and comfort working cross-functionally with internal teams and overseas mills and suppliers.
  • Passion for innovation and sustainability within the apparel industry.
  • Effective organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple seasons, projects, and priorities simultaneously.
  • Proactive, solution-oriented mindset with strong attention to detail and follow-through.
  • You empower yourself to approach life and work with positivity, purpose, and intention while keeping it light and having fun along the way.
  • International travel experience is a plus; occasional international travel may be required.
