potential.

Tech Pack Creation & Management

· Collaborate with technical design, merch and PD to iterate and refine tech packs through fit sessions, sample reviews, and comment cycles.
· Maintain an organized, up-to-date library of tech pack assets, including revisions, version
control, and historical files.
Quality & Cost Oversight

issues.
· Participate in pre-production reviews, final fit approvals, and sign off on specs.
