Key Responsibilities

Work with team to own the end-to-end development process for innovative seasonal, replenishment, core, and special-event product lines -- taking styles from initial concept through sampling, costing, fit approval, and final production. Create, maintain, and issue 100% accurate, production-ready tech packs (detailed technical drawings, graded specs, BOM, construction callouts, artwork placement, labels, packaging, trims, and hardware). Build and actively manage the time-and-action (T&A) calendar / critical path to ensure on-time delivery of all prototypes, samples, and bulk production. Partner daily with domestic and international vendors throughout the sampling process (Proto, Fit, Size-Set, PP, TOP) to protect design intent, fit, quality, and brand aesthetic. Lead cost-engineering and margin negotiations with vendors to hit target IMU goals without sacrificing quality or design vision. Approve lab dips, strike-offs, hand-looms, trim submissions, print/embroidery files, and all pre-production submissions. Actively participate in fittings and wear testing; own fit consistency, grading rules, and the brand block library across categories and seasons. Establish and enforce quality-control standards for every style; rigorously evaluate samples and final production to ensure they meet or exceed company quality benchmarks and brand values. Serve as the final gatekeeper for bulk production approval -- only releasing production when fit, specs, quality, and compliance are 100% met. Enter and maintain all product data (styles, SKUs, costing, images, specs, approvals) in the PLM/PDM system with full accuracy. Conduct risk assessments on new materials, constructions, or suppliers and proactively resolve issues during development and production. Work cross-functionally with Merchandising, Design, Sourcing, Planning, and Marketing teams to drive seamless execution from concept to final product. Stay ahead of market trends and provide consumer-focused insight on the commercial viability and styling direction of new collections. Balance brand identity guidelines with creative innovation to elevate visual storytelling and strengthen the overall brand aesthetic. Maintain a proactive, positive, and professional attitude while collaborating with internal teams and external vendors at all levels.
