• Ensure all upholstered products meet internal quality standards before dispatch.
• Log all QC inspections on the designated platform.
• Conduct spot check QC visits at UK and EU manufacturers.
• Report manufacturing defects to manufacturers.
• Submit and follow up on claims for manufacturing defects.
• Maintain all required compliance documentation.

Personal Attributes:

• Organized, proactive, and reliable.
• Works well independently and in teams.
