Report clear, concise development updates by supplier and identify potential delays or obstructions to delivery milestones. Escalate large issues effectively to Head of Product Development and General Manager of Supply
Physically check samples for quality, fit, comfort and commercial viability before we can place production orders
Team
Take on sourcing projects to bring innovation to our portfolio of products including new stones, findings and components.
Le ad optimisation projects ( eg. size diversity) which may be loose briefs, but using initiative and a customer eye view look to define improvements and propose ways to make them simply
Take on Market research projects to find new materials, sources, suppliers or techniques which could aid development or current supply, or enhance towards sustainability goals.
Manage the design studio space, in parallel with the rest of the team, to keep it an inspirational space but also fully functional for the full team to maximise its benefit.
