ABOUT THE ROLE

We are in search of a detail oriented individual with strong problem-solving and communication skills to join the team as our Associate Production Manager.

• Provide vendors with the company’s testing requirements and standards.

• Monitor and enforce that all PPS and TOPS are sent and approved for every PO before bulk shipment.
• Partner with logistics to ensure finished goods reach the port on time and product launches stay on schedule.

Factory Partnership & Performance Management

• Build strong operational relationships with mill and factory partners.  
• Evaluate supplier performance related to cost, speed, quality, and reliability and mitigate risk and exposure.  
• Support continuous supplier improvement initiatives including efficiency enhancements, waste reduction, and workflow optimization.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

• You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can work independently to refine systems.
• High proficiency in Excel and can translate complex data into actionable timelines with urgency.
• You can build high-trust relationships with external vendors while effectively communicating delays or wins to internal teams.
