Job description

About the Role

As Sample Coordinator, you're the first person to touch what Lola makes next. Samples arrive from our manufacturing partners every week - new fabrics, lab dips, prototypes, pre-production units - and you'll own the system that keeps them organized, tracked, and ready for review. When the Director of Sourcing & Product Development needs the third lab dip of a colorway from two rounds ago, you know exactly where it is. This is an entry point into product development at a fast-growing brand. You'll sit close to sourcing decisions, fabric evaluation, and the full product lifecycle, and you'll learn how a physical product goes from idea to bestseller. This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days per week at our office in Lehi, UT.

What You'll Do

• Receive, unpack, and log incoming samples from vendors and manufacturing partners
• Build and maintain the sample library: tagging, labeling, photographing, and shelving every sample so it's easy to find
• Track sample status across development rounds and flag what's arrived, what's late, and what's next
• Prepare samples for review meetings, fittings, and quality evaluations
• Ship samples to partners, photographers, and team members as needed
• Keep the sample room tidy, organized, and ready for visitors
• Support the product team with ad hoc projects as we grow

Who You Are

• A recent graduate or someone with up to a year of professional experience - retail, operations, merchandising, or product internships all count
• Organized to your core. You like systems, labels, and knowing where things are
• Detail-oriented and reliable. Small errors in tracking create big problems downstream, and you catch them first
• A Lola fan. You know the product, you love the product, and you want to help make it
• Comfortable with spreadsheets and quick to pick up new tools
• Able to work on-site in Utah and lift boxes of blankets (they're soft, but they add up)

Why Lola

You’ll join a product team at the center of a brand people are obsessed with, learn sourcing and product development from the ground up, and have a real hand in what Lola makes next. Plus, you'll be surrounded by the world's softest blankets. Every day.

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary and annual bonus based on company and individual performance
• 12 days paid vacation
• Full health benefits (health, dental, vision, mental)
• 16 weeks paid birth parent leave; 8 weeks non-birth parent leave
• 55% off Lola Blankets for friends and family
• Opportunities for career growth within Lola Blankets
