• Establish and maintain department SOPs for order tracking, vendor communication, and internal system updates.
• Run weekly production meetings to review pipeline status, flag risks, and coordinate cross-functionally.

Systems & Process

• Manage the product development workflow in our PLM system alongside , keeping order status, timelines, art approvals, and vendor comms up to date across both platforms.
• Build and maintain documentation: vendor onboarding guides, product development playbooks, and department training materials.
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency through better vendor relationships, process automation, or smarter tooling. We’re an AI-forward shop and encourage creative use of tools.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with account managers to scope new product requests with realistic timelines and cost estimates.
• Coordinate with fulfillment and warehousing on inbound shipment scheduling, receiving expectations, and inventory handoffs.
• Support tour operations with merchandise production timelines, ensuring product is ready for on-the-road inventory needs.

What You Bring

Required

• 5+ years in product development, production management, or merchandise operations, ideally in apparel, music merch, or branded consumer goods.
• Proven track record managing vendor relationships across domestic and international factories.
• Experience managing or mentoring direct reports (production coordinators, assistants, or similar).
• Familiarity with the full apparel production cycle: tech packs, grading, sampling, bulk production, and quality assurance.
• Strong working knowledge of project management platforms ( preferred; Asana, Trello, or similar acceptable).
• Comfort with AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or similar for workflow optimization.
