Support the Product Development team to maintain quality integrity across all prototypes and sales samples. Conduct factory audits and manage the annual scorecard process to evaluate and improve vendor performance. Oversee the critical path for new products, ensuring a smooth transition from design to production. Lead root‑cause analysis and resolution for components or products that fail to meet performance requirements. Champion Sustainability & Compliance: Act as the primary point of contact for clients on sustainability and transparency. Manage restricted substance testing and compliance, ensuring all products meet regulatory and brand requirements.

A practical problem‑solver with deep knowledge of pattern making, all sewing operations, and outerwear production processes.
