Manage color approval processes and ensure colors meet retailer specifications. Coordinate fabric and garment testing; identify root causes of failures and develop corrective actions with suppliers. Work directly with overseas mills, vendors, and factories to troubleshoot technical issues and keep programs on schedule. Review fabric construction, trims, labeling, packaging, testing, and quality requirements. Maintain retailer systems, compliance documentation, sustainability certifications, and approval records. Track development and production samples and communicate risks, issues, and solutions to internal and external partners. Qualifications 2+ years of apparel pre-production, product development, production, or related experience. Current or recent Mass Market/private-label experience required. Strong technical knowledge of fabrics, trims, color, testing, labeling, and garment construction. Experience with color management systems such as Coloro/ColorFlow, X-Rite iQC10, or similar.
