Duties and Responsibilities:
1. Quotations & Cost Validation
• Build the Isla-Tek cost-plus quotation by applying the approved mark-up to the submitted manufacturing partner costs.
• Check every quotation against the standard quotation QC checklist before submission — customer name, date, reference number, fibre and yarn composition, unit of measure, quantity tiers and terms. Source cost sheets are known to carry details carried over from previous jobs and must never be used unchecked.

• Maintain accurate daily cash logs; ensure every peso in and out is documented and balanced.
• Give the CEO clear, timely visibility of the Production cash position and of upcoming cash requirements.
• Submit to periodic independent cash counts, and to monthly reconciliation by Isla-Tek's outsourced accountant
• Support the CEO in preparing the company cash flow forecasts ensuring the company is able to forecast Cash Position 3-6 months ahead

• Collect, verify and file supplier official receipts and invoices for every disbursement, so that all expenses are properly substantiated and input VAT is captured.
• Prepare the periodic expense report — spend by category and by project, against budget.
• Track receivables and follow up on collections; prepare the periodic collection report — invoiced, collected, outstanding and ageing.
• Track payables and maintain the disbursement schedule.

• Maintain a live work-in-progress view of every Isla-Tek order at the partner's factory: style, quantity, current stage, committed completion date and expected completion date.
• Report on floor availability — what is running, what is open, and from when — so that Isla-Tek can commit delivery dates to customers with confidence.
• Escalate to the CEO, on the same day it becomes visible, any delay or risk to a committed completion date, together with the reason.
• Issue a weekly consolidated production report to the CEO.

• Assist the CEO and Factory partner on developing a process for better Production Planning and Scheduling
5. . Deliveries & Logistics
• Book and manage deliveries of samples, fabric and finished orders: courier or forwarder selection, booking, scheduling and cost.
• Prepare delivery documentation, oversee dispatch, and track shipments through to receipt.

• Track company inventory and perform a monthly physical count, so that digital records match physical stock.
• Maintain organised digital and physical filing of all transactions and compliance documents.
SCOPE BOUNDARIES
• To be explicit about what this role does not cover:
• Production planning, scheduling and sequencing remain with our manufacturing partner. This role does not direct production — it observes, verifies and reports production status, and escalates delays and risks.
• This role carries no line authority over partner staff. Its reporting line is to the Isla-Tek CEO.
• Bookkeeping, statutory filings and tax compliance remain with Isla-Tek's outsourced accounting team. This role feeds, coordinates and follows up; it does not own the books.
• Approval of quotations and release of funds remain with the CEO.
INDICATIVE TIME ALLOCATION
• Cash, disbursements, receipts, expense and collection reporting — 35%
• Quotations and cost validation — 25%
• Deliveries, logistics and executive support — 20%
• Production reporting — 15%
