• Maintain and execute detailed production calendars across DTC and Amazon programs.
• Track WIP, monitor milestones, and proactively resolve delays or risks.
• Translate sales forecasts into clear, executable production plans.
• Ensure accuracy in costing, production timelines, and delivery commitments.

Global Vendor and Outsourcing Management

• Manage and develop international vendor partnerships across Asia, Africa, and multi-region sourcing networks.
• Oversee capacity planning, pricing alignment, and vendor performance.
• Ensure compliance with PP, TOP, and final inspection standards.
• Proactively mitigate production delays, quality risks, and compliance issues.

Amazon & DTC Channel Execution

• Manage production requirements specific to Amazon Marketplace.
• Ensure compliance with Amazon packaging, labeling, bundling, and hard-pack requirements.
• Support complex packaging programs, including bundle configurations.
• Coordinate with fulfillment partners and 3PLs to meet DTC launch calendars and delivery deadlines.

Cross Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with Product Development, Sales, QA, Logistics, Planning, and 3PL teams.
• Provide accurate WIP reporting and production updates to stakeholders.
• Utilize Slack and project management tools (e.g., Asana) for transparent communication.
• Ensure operational alignment from development handoff through final shipment.

• 5–8 years of apparel production experience in high-volume environments.

• Strong experience managing end-to-end production.
• Hands-on experience with NetSuite, Centric PLM, and Anvyl (Sage).
• Advanced Excel skills (costing, WIP reporting, production calendars).
• Proven ability to manage compressed timelines and evolving forecasts.
• Experience managing multi-region vendor networks.
• Deep knowledge of production compliance and inspection processes.
• Demonstrated ability to navigate complex international production environments.
• Experience supporting Amazon Marketplace production requirements.
• Strong understanding of Amazon packaging compliance standards.
• Familiarity with DTC fulfillment models and launch cadence planning.
