Position: Technical Development Coordinator

What will you do?

As a Technical Development Coordinator, you will play a vital role in transforming design concepts into high-quality, functional garments that fit beautifully and support a wide range of activities. You’ll collaborate across teams to ensure fit consistency, leverage 3D tools for virtual development, and help streamline our product creation process to support sustainability and speed to market.

Let’s break down that day-in-the-life a bit more.

• Support the Technical Developer and Product Developers in bringing apparel to life from concept through production.
• Assist in garment fitting across all in-line product categories, including SMUs and collaborations.
• Utilize 3D development tools (e.g., CLO 3D, Browzwear) to create virtual prototypes and support digital workflows. • Ensure fit accuracy and consistency by measuring samples, preparing for fittings, and capturing detailed feedback.

What do you need to succeed?
