Collection Launch Coordinator
About The Position
Ruggable is seeking a detail-oriented and hands-on Collection Launch Coordinator to own pre-launch sample validation for new collection launches and expansions. This role serves as a critical quality gate before launch, ensuring new designs are production-ready and manufacturable at scale. You will work closely with plant teams and cross-functional partners to coordinate sample production, conduct rigorous quality and color reviews against approved standards, and proactively escalate risks before they impact launch timelines or customer experience. This is a highly execution-focused role with significant exposure to manufacturing operations, quality systems, and root cause analysis — offering strong growth potential into broader quality, launch strategy, or process improvement roles over time.
