Provide market analysis on future trends and competitor ranges through comp shops and external research. Product Development & Critical Path Own the critical path end to end - from initial development through to delivery - keeping schedules on track and resolving issues before they become delays. Run the development process day to day, making the calls needed to keep execution and approvals moving. Ensure timely placement of purchase orders with suppliers. Own sample management - labelling, maintaining the development tracker, and ensuring the correct samples are available for meetings. Attend fit meetings with the garment tech team, contributing on fit, styling, and trims. Own lab dip and trim approvals. Relationships & Team Own day-to-day supplier communication - chasing samples, lab dips, and approvals, and flagging critical path risks early so issues are raised before they become delays.
