  • Work with teams to improve processes and provide a nimble supply chain from beginning to end. Work cross-functionally to improve internal systems and ensure teams can work efficiently.
  • Coordinate and manage communication flow between internal partners (design, development, merchandising) and external partners (manufacturers, raw material and hardware suppliers, component vendors).
  • Lead and monitor BOM, pre-production, and production readiness meetings to drive decision-making and achieve departmental goals.

  • Identify sourcing gaps and recommend new suppliers to meet business objectives and product needs across handbags and SLG.
  • Identify and implement opportunities to reduce operational costs, reduce lead time, and increase efficiency.
  • Coordinate with key RTW leads on best practices and overall business objectives.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
