Support execution and delivery
  • Help ensure key development milestones and timelines are met
  • Create and manage material trackers, including cost and development status
  • Support sample development, including evaluating hand feel, finishing, and construction
  • Use technical expertise to balance design intent with cost requirements and feasibility

Advance digital and operational processes

  • Hybrid role based in New York City, with an expectation to work in the office 3 to 4 days per week
