Job description

A first sample on the table, an improved fit and a collection gradually taking shape. At RNF in Drunen, you’ll collaborate with colleagues and international suppliers to turn ideas into products that bring together design, quality and commercial viability.

As Design & Product Coordinator Men & Women, you’ll connect the people involved in that process. You’ll build relationships, bring information together and see the results of your work in our men’s and women’s collections. From early development to the styles presented in the showroom, your attention to detail and clear communication will help each collection move forward.

At RNF, part of HVEG Group, you’ll combine technical product knowledge with coordination and commercial insight. You’ll have the space to take responsibility and contribute to collections for different brands and business units.

What will you do?

You’ll coordinate the development and production process for our men’s and women’s products. Working with internal colleagues and international suppliers, you’ll ensure styles are ready for production while keeping quality, price, planning and product information on track.

• Coordinate product development from initial samples and tech packs through to production and showroom presentation.
• Prepare stylesheets, tech packs, technical drawings and product specifications, keeping them up to date throughout development.
• Monitor fit, measurements, garment construction and quality, coordinating necessary improvements with colleagues and suppliers.
• Maintain contact with international suppliers about sample deliveries, technical adjustments and product improvements until styles are ready for production.
• Request quotations, assess prices and monitor delivery deadlines and production schedules, taking timely action when plans change.
• Apply relevant developments in fashion, apparel and product technology to improve the development process.
• Maintain accurate product, article and production data in our systems and keep relevant colleagues informed about expected arrivals.
• Coordinate logistics for proto samples and salesman samples, including transport planning and checking packing lists against sample orders.

What do we offer?

At RNF, you’ll work in an international fashion environment where product development, commercial thinking and collaboration come together. You’ll play a central role in developing our collections, with opportunities to build your expertise and learn from colleagues and suppliers.

• A gross monthly salary of € 3750 for a 40-hour workweek
• A full-time contract.
• Flexible working hours and hybrid working options, by agreement.
• An 8% holiday allowance, 25 days annual leave for a full-time position, plus 3 additional HVEG days.

• The opportunity to work on collections for multiple brands and business units within HVEG Group.
• ‘Summer Hours’: the flexibility to finish work at 12:00 on Fridays throughout June, July, and August.

What you bring to the role

You understand how a garment moves from design into production and know how to guide that process. You connect easily with others, maintain relationships and help colleagues and suppliers understand what’s needed to move forward together.

• At least 3 years of relevant experience in product development and coordination, or a similar role within fashion, apparel or textiles.
• A working and thinking level equivalent to Dutch hbo, with a relevant educational background such as TMO or a comparable fashion or textile programme.
• Knowledge of tech packs, garment construction, measurements, fit and quality control.
• A good command of Dutch and English, both spoken and written.
