• Audit and place purchase orders with full accuracy — logos, colorways, and construction must match client requirements exactly
• Collaborate on new product development between the sales team and manufacturers

Requirements:

• 5+ years of experience in apparel product development, sourcing, or supply chain (sports industry preferred)
