  • Experience using production quality data, dashboards, or analytics to improve visibility, support decision-making, and prioritize risk mitigation.
  • Experience supporting high-visibility product categories, professional sport partnerships, team product, or global event product where quality risk carries elevated consumer, athlete, partner, and brand impact.

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON
You will lead Product Integrity's apparel quality engineering work across the Americas, enabling faster regional execution, strengthening supplier quality readiness, and supporting proactive governance as local manufacturing continues to expand.
