What you’ll be doing
  • Supporting the Product Development team with the sourcing and development of fabrics, yarns, prints and garments, including cross-sourcing key fabrics and researching new options.
  • Sending tech packs, samples and development information to suppliers, following up on costings and supporting the development of new supplier routes.

  • Managing product development trackers and Vision, ensuring costings, retail selling prices, tech packs, sample dates and other key information are accurate and up to date.
  • Supporting the critical path by attending weekly progress meetings, following up on actions and ensuring development remains on track for seasonal deadlines.
  • Managing the sample process by chasing proto samples, maintaining sample due dates, preparing priority lists for suppliers and logging samples as they arrive.
  • Working closely with Design and Product Development to coordinate tech pack handovers, resolve development queries and prepare samples for seasonal buy meetings.
  • Supporting Sustainability and wider Product teams with sustainable product development, while helping to maintain strong supplier relationships and ensure product is delivered to the required quality, margin and deadlines.
