  • Monitor textile and raw material market trends and assess their impact on cost, availability, and lead times.
  • Provide monthly and quarterly fabric sourcing and performance reporting to Global Supply Chain leadership.
  • Visit textile mills and suppliers as needed for supplier evaluations, R&D, new collections, and fabric development.
  • Lead and develop direct reports while driving continuous improvement in sourcing processes.

What You'll Bring
  • Experience in global raw materials sourcing, textile sourcing, fabric sourcing, apparel sourcing, or supply chain.
  • Experience negotiating directly with global textile mills in markets such as Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, China, or similar sourcing regions.
  • Strong knowledge of fabric development, textile manufacturing, supplier management, costing, capacity planning, and production lead times.
  • Experience improving quality and consistency while identifying opportunities to reduce costs.
  • People management experience, including at least one direct report.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, negotiation, communication, and presentation skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple suppliers, seasonal priorities, and deadlines across a global supply chain.
  • Strong Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office skills.
