About The Position

We’re looking for a dynamic, commercially-minded Director of Sourcing & Production to lead end-to-end global sourcing strategy with a sharp focus on cost engineering, CPM optimization, and margin delivery.

If you thrive on influencing outcomes through data, negotiation, and global partnerships—this is your seat at the table. This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible role where you’ll directly impact profitability, product strategy, and operational excellence. You won’t just manage production—you’ll shape how the business thinks about cost, value, and execution.

  • Act as a key partner to Design, Tech, Merchandising, QA, and Offshore teams to ensure seamless execution
  • Drive alignment across regions, ensuring real-time visibility into production status, risks, and solutions
