You’ll spearhead the development of detailed tech packs that honor the designer’s creative vision while establishing the technical foundation for exceptional fit, construction, and workmanship.

Your leadership will be crucial in fit sessions, where you’ll provide expert technical guidance that optimises resources while maintaining exacting standards. You’ll collaborate closely with suppliers globally, ensuring that dedication to sustainable manufacturing practices are maintained throughout the production process.

• Experience with or interest in sustainable manufacturing practices
