Supply Chain Manager – FS x New Balance

Location: San Clemente, CA & Oceanside, CA (Hybrid)

Company Overview

FutureStitch is a fully vertical circular manufacturer that believes business should be a force for good. We are the creators behind some of the world’s most beloved sock and circular-knit products, including those for Stance, New Balance, the NBA, and MLB. What sets us apart is our relentless pursuit of innovation—from our lab at MIT to our Oceanside factory that employs second-chance hires, FutureStitch is recognized as one of the most advanced knitting manufacturers in the world.

In 2026, FutureStitch will launch a global base layer collection for New Balance and unveil a groundbreaking new brand: SECONDS

SECONDS is a regenerative design collective built on the power of second chances—for both people and the planet. We transform waste into feedstock through advanced recycling and circular manufacturing technologies, creating apparel and accessories that merge craftsmanship, performance, and sustainability. Our global network of creative directors from high fashion and visionary technologists collaborates across multiple categories to build systems of renewal—products that don’t just look good but do good, redefining how beauty and utility emerge from what was once discarded.

As we expand from high-quality socks into full apparel categories, we are looking for a Supply Chain Manager who thrives in dynamic, hands-on environments and shares our passion for excellence and purpose-driven products.

In preparation for our apparel expansion, the Supply Chain Manager will also develop end-to-end processes supporting seamless cut-and-sew operations—from yarn sourcing through finished goods delivery with an emphasis on scale, quality, and value while facilitating product innovation.
