Product Development Specialist
About The Position
Euro Style is looking for a Product Development Specialist to support the full product lifecycle — from factory communication and sample coordination to merchandising support and marketing collaboration. This role sits at the intersection of buying, product development, and brand storytelling, giving you broad exposure across the business. In your first 6–12 months, you will establish reliable workflows with factory partners, ensure product data accuracy across internal systems, and contribute to at least one tradeshow cycle from sample planning through on-site execution. You will also identify opportunities to streamline repetitive tasks and improve how product information flows to cross-functional teams. This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.
