  • Team & Vendor Leadership

  • Collaborate with our QA staff and inspectors, setting clear performance expectations and fostering a culture of accountability and excellence
  • Partner with overseas factories to maintain consistent quality across all production runs by being able to implement company procedures and standard industry protocols to train vendors QC’s to internally audit their own operation following our methods
  • Provide constructive, actionable feedback to vendors and guide them toward corrective measures when issues arise
  • Process Optimization & Problem-Solving

  • Collaborate with Technical Design to analyze recurring defects and develop solutions that improve quality outcomes and manufacturing efficiency
  • Maintain detailed inspection reports, defect logs, and quality metrics to inform decision-making and track performance trends
  • Compliance & Safety

  • Ensure all products meet regulatory requirements, including CPSIA, labeling, and brand compliance guidelines
  • Ability to review and problem solve, third-party testing results
  • What You Bring :

  • 10+ years of quality assurance experience in apparel manufacturing is required (denim, RTW, or adjacent categories preferred)
  • Deep understanding of garment construction, sewing techniques, pattern-making, and finishing methods
  • Proficiency with AQL standards, inspection methodologies, and quality documentation
  • Strong leadership skills with proven ability to inspire and direct a team in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
  • Exceptional communication, organization, and analytical problem-solving abilities
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office and / or PLM systems; familiarity with RLM or similar apparel software a plus
