* Manage the sampling process including tracking and approving pre-production (PP) samples, ship samples, and lab dips
* Liaise with suppliers on sample submissions, production timelines, and QC requirements
* Maintain up-to-date product data and line sheets across internal systems
* Monitor and collate quality control (QC) reports, ensuring issues are identified and resolved promptly
* Organise and manage sample logistics for fit sessions, photoshoots, and trade use
* Support the wider product and buying teams with admin and communication across development stages
What You’ll Bring:
* 1–2 years' experience in a similar role within fashion, apparel, or garment production
* Solid knowledge of the product lifecycle, sampling processes, and production admin
