• Build and maintain sample charts, checklists, and reference files
• Coordinate lab dips, fabric/trim approvals, and other development submits
• Keep sample and submit storage areas tidy, labeled, and accessible
• Take notes in cross-functional meetings and follow up on next steps
• Assist with ad hoc tasks, one-off projects, and administrative support as needed

• 2–4 years of experience in product development or a related apparel role
• A highly organized, dependable individual with strong attention to detail
• A proactive communicator who’s comfortable following up, clarifying, and course-correcting
• Someone who enjoys creating order from ambiguity and takes pride in their work
• Comfortable managing shifting priorities and keeping multiple tasks on track
• Familiar with Excel or Google Sheets; PLM experience is a plus
• A curious, capable teammate who’s excited to grow their development skillset
