The opportunity
Being naked is the #1 most sustainable option. We're #2.
What you'll do
Oversee the entire product development lifecycle in scope: concept, tech pack hand-off, sampling, costing, fit, and pass-off to production — as the single accountable owner of the calendar.
Run the fast lane calendar, holding the team to established chase timelines: for both domestic and import development.
Work closely with the design team to translate creative direction into: viable, manufacturable product, surfacing feasibility, costing, and timeline constraints early.
Partner with R&D on fabric and trim selection to avoid margin or retail-price disconnects downstream.
Own costing across all channels in scope, holding suppliers to target cost: and margin goals through negotiation.
Develop and manage the department's product development and production: budget, tracking spend against plan and flagging variances early.
What they're looking for
- Establish and maintain strong, accountable relationships with suppliers, manufacturers, and vendors in scope.
- Own vendor performance conversations: cost, quality, delivery — and bring recommendations on capacity allocation and vendor mix.
- Own the deadstock and trim sourcing process, balancing development speed,: sustainability commitments, and data integrity.
- Maintain style bill of materials and product data accurately in PLM/PIM: across the full product lifecycle across the teams managed.
