  • Verify the accuracy and consistency of textile information across product listings.
  • Assist in maintaining data standards for product catalog organization and classification.

  • Occasionally inspect products in the warehouse to verify colors, textures, fabric characteristics, or other details.
  • Assist the Inventory team with fabric identification, color discrepancies, unlabeled products, and determining appropriate panel cut locations.
  • Serve as an internal textile knowledge resource across multiple departments.
