• 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.
