Job Summary: 

Ruggable is seeking a detail-oriented and hands-on Collection Launch Coordinator to own pre-launch sample validation for new collection launches and expansions. This role serves as a critical quality gate before launch, ensuring new designs are production-ready and manufacturable at scale. You will work closely with plant teams and cross-functional partners to coordinate sample production, conduct rigorous quality and color reviews against approved standards, and proactively escalate risks before they impact launch timelines or customer experience.

This is a highly execution-focused role with significant exposure to manufacturing operations, quality systems, and root cause analysis — offering strong growth potential into broader quality, launch strategy, or process improvement roles over time.

What You’ll Do:

Own Pre-Launch Sample Validation

• Coordinate and track pre-launch sample production in alignment with launch timelines


• Conduct detailed color and quality comparisons against approved “golden” standards


• Evaluate manufacturability at scale and flag risks that may impact launch readiness


• Serve as a quality gatekeeper, ensuring all products meet defined standards before release


• Complete sample enablement tasks such as SKU creation & flight tests

Escalate & Communicate Variances

• Own escalation of quality variances through established protocols


• Assess severity and potential impact of deviations and determine appropriate next steps


• Synthesize findings into clear, actionable updates for cross-functional stakeholders


• Document results and share insights via Slack, email summaries, and slide presentations


• Maintain organized records of approvals, rejections, and corrective actions

Drive Quality Troubleshooting & Continuous Improvement

• Partner with Operations and manufacturing teams to identify root causes of quality issues


• Track recurring variances and identify patterns across launches


• Contribute to corrective action plans that improve future production outcomes


• Support refinement of quality standards and validation processes over time

What You’ll Need to Have:

Required:

• 1–3 years of experience in manufacturing, quality, supply chain, or operations (textiles preferred)


• Experience with large format digital printing systems


• Experience working directly with production teams or physical product samples


• Strong visual and quality discernment skills, particularly in identifying subtle variances


• Ability to consistently apply defined standards in fast-paced environments


• Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent launches and shifting production timelines


• Highly organized with strong documentation habits


• Proficient in Google Workspace (Sheets, Slides, Docs) for tracking and reporting


• Ability to assess quality deviations, determine root cause, and evaluate impact


• Comfortable making judgment calls within defined guardrails


• Strong interpersonal skills and ability to communicate clearly with plant teams and cross-functional partners


• Comfortable escalating issues directly and constructively when needed

Compensation:

• $70,000 - $73,000 per year base salary


• An annual bonus percentage that varies based on level of role


• Employer matching (up to 3% of base salary) for company sponsored 401K plan
