Job Summary

We are looking for a highly-skilled Production Manager with 5–10 years of experience in performance activewear or sportswear / apparel production. The role will oversee the complete lifecycle of our product—from development hand-off through manufacturing to delivery. You will partner closely with merchandising, design, and operations to ensure product integrity, on-time delivery, margin targets, and vendor performance in a fast-paced environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage domestic and overseas factory / vendor relationships : ensure milestone adherence, optimize lead times, negotiate costs / terms, and drive improvement in quality, productivity and cost-effectiveness.
  • Monitor and enforce quality standards : ensure that materials, trims, finishes, workmanship and final goods meet company, brand and performance specifications (especially performance fabrics and applications).
  • Manage BOMs, costing sheets and production data : maintain accurate cost-of-goods, labor and material metrics; monitor margin performance versus plan.
  • Track raw material / fabric / trim procurement and ensure timely availability to meet production schedules.
  • Travel (domestic and international, as needed) to vendor sites for factory visits, inspections, development reviews and troubleshooting.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally : work with design, product development, sourcing, quality assurance, logistics and supply chain teams to ensure alignment of priorities, handoff, risk mitigation and delivery.
  • Proactively identify and mitigate risks (e.g., vendor delays, quality issues, cost overruns) and communicate status and action plans upward.
  • Drive continuous improvement : implement best practices, streamline workflows, raise vendor performance metrics (lead time, quality, cost), and strengthen production infrastructure.
  • Provide periodic reporting on production status, vendor performance scorecards, cost variances, and timeline slippages.
  • Qualifications

  • 5–10 years of production management experience in apparel, with strong focus on activewear, performance apparel, or sportswear.
  • Proven experience managing both domestic and offshore factories / vendors, including vendor sourcing, capacity planning, production scheduling, quality control and logistics.
  • Deep understanding of garment construction, fabric / trim sourcing, costing, BOMs, production workflows and performance-apparel requirements.
  • Strong negotiation skills and experience in cost management, margin optimization and vendor contracts / terms.
  • Excellent project management skills, with ability to drive multiple seasonal programs simultaneously.
  • Advanced proficiency with Excel / Google Sheets; familiarity with PLM or ERP systems preferred.
  • Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills; ability to collaborate across functions and lead vendor teams.
  • Adaptable and comfortable working in a fast-moving, dynamic environment.
  • Preferred : Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Merchandising, Apparel Production, Industrial Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Willingness to travel internationally (vendor visits, factory audits) as required.
