  • Work with the PO Creation team to generate accurate purchase orders and confirm all PO details match the buy plan.
Production Tracking, Calendars & Vendor Management
  • Review weekly vendor WIPs in Teams to ensure production milestones are met, booking numbers are received, and styles move to handover on schedule.
  • Monitor pre-production approvals to ensure delivery dates remain on track.
  • Work closely with vendors and Product Development to support AUC targets and identify opportunities to improve cost outcomes.
  • Negotiate delivery delays, troubleshoot production issues, and partner with vendors to maintain on-time execution.
  • Review weekly delivery status with the Supply Chain Brand Manager and Merchandising teams, identifying risks and required adjustments.
  • Review compliance chargebacks for late bookings, handovers, or deliveries (for DDP shipments) and track outcomes.
Quality, Testing Review & Issue Escalation
  • Review failed garment testing and inspection reports, identify risks, and escalate issues to the Manager.
  • Partner with internal teams to determine corrective actions based on testing or inspection results.
  • Bubble up production issues to management and assist in researching root causes and potential resolutions.

What you can bring:

  • 3–5 years of experience in production, merchandising operations, or a related function with direct exposure to vendors and purchase order management

  • Demonstrated ability to manage purchase order workflows end-to-end, including tracking status, identifying variances, and driving timely resolution

  • Hands-on experience using PLM systems to review, update, and maintain product, costing, and production data with a high level of accuracy

  • Strong proficiency in Excel, with the ability to manage large datasets, build tracking tools, and ensure a high level of data accuracy.

  • Ability to interpret garment testing and inspection reports and translate findings into actionable next steps for Production or Product Development.

  • Experience coordinating with cross-functional teams and vendors, maintaining clear communication to support deadlines and troubleshoot issues.

  • Strong organizational and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams independently and deliver against production milestones.
