- Support progression from proto to PP to bulk, ensuring timelines and quality standards are met

- Assist with pre-production and post-production QC checks as required

- 3+ years’ experience as a Garment Technician, Fit Specialist or Product Developer (flexible for the right candidate)

- Strong understanding of womenswear fit and garment construction across multiple categories
