The team partners closely with Design, Product Development, Brand Supply, PVH Supply and vendor teams to translate creative intent into production-ready product while strengthening technical capability, standards and ways of working across the global organization. 

About the Role

The role works independently on day-to-day product activity with general guidance, takes responsibility for technical data and seasonal milestones and builds productive relationships with Product Development, Design, offshore teams and vendors.

• Own seasonal milestones for assigned product, monitor dependencies and communicate risks early with clear context, actions taken and support required. 
• Support the testing and implementation of new blocks, constructions and technical solutions within agreed standards and governance. 
• Contribute to team performance measures, product hindsight and process improvements by sharing learning and following through on agreed actions. 
• Independently prioritize assigned work as demands change, propose practical sequencing and align material timing, scope or capacity trade-offs with the relevant decision owner.
