About the role

Production Manager responsible for turning design ideas into physical objects, sourcing manufacturers, managing production from prototype to final delivery, and building a network of suppliers for custom merch and packaging.

Responsibilities

  • Turn creative ideas from our design team into real physical objects
  • Figure out how to manufacture things that don't have an obvious supplier or ready-made solution
  • Find factories, workshops, craftspeople, printers, manufacturers, and other production partners around the world
  • Work with designers to choose materials, finishes, construction methods, packaging, and production techniques
  • Request and compare quotes, samples, prototypes, MOQs, timelines, and manufacturing options
  • Own production from the first prototype to the final delivery
  • Develop custom merch, clothing, accessories, printed objects, packaging, gifts, event materials, and weird one-off ideas
  • Find ways to make something completely custom instead of defaulting to existing merch catalogues
  • Review samples and make sure the final result matches the original design
  • Manage budgets, production schedules, shipping, customs, and logistics
  • Build a network of great manufacturers and specialists we can work with repeatedly

Qualifications

  • Based in the US
  • 5+ years of experience in a similar role
  • Experience producing physical products from scratch
  • Know how to find the right manufacturer when the answer isn't obvious
  • Comfort contacting dozens of suppliers, asking questions, negotiating, and figuring things out independently
  • Understand materials, printing, manufacturing, packaging, and production processes
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to spot when a sample is slightly wrong
  • Can translate a visual idea or rough creative brief into production requirements
  • Can manage several suppliers and production timelines at the same time
  • Good taste and understands why the exact material, weight, finish, or packaging matters
  • Fluent in English
