- Communicate directly with manufacturers and quality control teams regarding identified nonconformities, corrective actions, approvals, and production issues.
- Work closely with product development and manufacturing teams when identified quality issues require improvements to patterns, construction, materials, dimensions, or sewing quality.

- Ability to collaborate with production, product development, supplier and quality control teams and a desire to prevent recurring defects.
- Willingness to travel to suppliers and production sites from time to time, including our manufacturing facility in Sri Lanka.
