Job Description

THREADJAM is a premium fashion production and development agency, guiding brands from first concept through to bulk production. We work closely with our clients to bring their creative visions to life - backed by a carefully built network of quality manufacturers and supply chains, and meticulous attention to detail in every garment we deliver.

n

Our services ensure brands are factory-ready with comprehensive technical documentation, and we provide full support throughout production - managing development, supplier relations, and communication end to end. We collaborate with a valuable and ever-growing network of offshore manufacturers to deliver high-quality product across all categories - giving our brands the confidence to push design boundaries, whether they're launching their first range or expanding into current markets.

n

This is a senior, client-facing role. You'll own a portfolio of our major clients end to end - managing product development and the entire production process, ensuring critical path deadlines align with each brand's needs, and acting as their trusted single point of contact from concept to bulk.

n

You'll work across fit-for-purpose garments, high fashion garments, and accessories in all categories - so genuine breadth and depth of technical experience is a must. Your technical judgement will lead fit and construction decisions, and your client care will define how our brands experience working with us - informed, supported, and confident at every stage.
