• Build and maintain Excel tools (basic formulas and pivot tables) that track the cost of department supplies and flag rising costs before they become a problem.
• Keep the wide format Epson fleet and light booths calibrated and accurate, and act as the Design/IT liaison for system issues, new functionality, and vendor support.
• Support Design leadership each season by matching fabric color standards to the art, headers, and trend decks they source, building out the seasonal color palettes.
• Create and update on-brand color names for all new colors, ensuring consistency with established naming conventions and submitting revisions for legal review and approval as needed.
• Maintain and organize the physical color standard library by categorizing, auditing inventory, ordering supplies, processing invoices, and filing fabric color standards accurately.
• Partner with the Director of Design & Supply Chain Systems & Processes to gather requirements and evaluate new color system features that could benefit the business.
• Build, update, and share a comprehensive deliverables calendar, managing workload and priorities proactively.
• Perform other duties as needed to support the overall business.
