About the Job

Our client, an international e-commerce company with a strong presence in the USA, is looking for a proactive and experienced Sourcing / Production Manager (Chinese-speaking) to join their global operations team. This is a full-time remote position for someone who thrives on managing factory relationships, streamlining production processes, and optimizing costs.

Are you fluent in Chinese and experienced in managing factory-side operations? Do you have a proven track record in sourcing, supplier compliance, and production reliability? If yes, this opportunity is for you!

As a Sourcing / Production Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing factory-side operations from purchase order (PO) placement through production, quality control, and freight pickup. You will drive cost savings and ensure smooth production cycles with a strong focus on execution, accuracy, and accountability.

About the Company:

The company is a fast-growing DTC (direct-to-consumer) brand with a strong international presence. Known for delivering high-quality, family-oriented products, the brand emphasizes operational excellence, cost efficiency, and long-term supplier partnerships. As the company scales, it seeks a hands-on sourcing expert who can independently manage supplier-side operations while optimizing COGS (Cost of Goods Sold).

Key Responsibilities:

Factory & Supplier Management:

  • Manage and nurture factory relationships
  • Negotiate terms, MOQs, and pricing
  • Ensure on-time PO confirmations and production timelines

Cost & Production Optimization:

  • Track raw material costs and currency exchange rates to time purchases optimally
  • Drive cost reduction strategies without compromising on quality
  • Maintain or improve unit economics

Quality Assurance:

  • Manage sample approvals and conduct quality checks
  • Ensure order defect rate remains <1%

Execution & Reporting:

  • Provide weekly updates on PO status
  • Monthly reports on lead times and QC results
  • Track supplier KPIs quarterly (on-time delivery, loading, cost, quality)

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

Sourcing:

  • 100% on-time PO confirmations
  • Minimum 2 qualified production lines per product

COGS Optimization:

  • 3% annual COGS reduction
  • Quarterly documented negotiation wins
  • Consistent or improved unit economics

Quality & Timeliness:

  • <1% order defect rate
  • Timely and consistent reporting of production and factory performance

Must-Have Skills:

  • Proven experience in production, sourcing, or supply chain management (preferably in e-commerce)
  • Fluency in Chinese and English
  • Strong negotiation and analytical skills
  • Ability to independently manage suppliers across regions
  • High attention to detail and accountability

Nice-to-Have (Bonus Points!):

  • Experience working with international factories in China or Southeast Asia
  • Familiarity with tools for order tracking, ERP, or supply chain analytics
  • Background in manufacturing for DTC or consumer goods brands

Our Benefits:

  • 100% remote work with flexible hours
  • Competitive compensation
  • Opportunity to make a direct impact on supply chain efficiency and cost optimization
  • Collaborative and growth-oriented work culture
  • Be part of a high-performing team scaling a global brand

If you're an operations expert fluent in Chinese and ready to take charge of sourcing and production with a global DTC brand we'd love to hear from you. Apply now!
