6. Source fabrics and trims from suppliers and factories.
7. Build and maintain strong relationships with factories and suppliers, advising on direction, construction, key details, and materials.
8. Work closely with the production team, ensuring all comments and approvals are completed within 24 hours of receiving samples.
9. Attend weekly fit sessions, supporting the team in refining product designs.
10. Prepare for sign-off meetings with both internal and external stakeholders.
11. Collaborate with the buying and technical teams, ensuring all designs align with the wider business strategy.
12. Manage daily tasks and follow critical paths & key deadlines to ensure timely execution.
