Qualifications - Fluent English and Mandarin Chinese communication skills. - Must be based in China or Hong Kong, with extensive travel availability throughout China and other key manufacturing regions across Asia. - 10+ years of experience in apparel sourcing, production management, factory operations, or supply chain management, with significant Asia-based experience. - Deep knowledge of apparel manufacturing, fabric construction, garment production processes, material quality, and factory operations. - Strong experience managing factory relationships, vendor performance, costing, negotiation, production planning, and supplier accountability. - Experience working directly with factory ownership or senior leadership teams and day-to-day vendor management at the operational level. - Established factory network across China and broader Asia manufacturing markets. - Experience using PLM, product lifecycle management, product development, or related sourcing and production systems. - Experience working with apparel brands, sourcing offices, buying offices, large manufacturers, or global supply chain organizations. - Strong market knowledge across Vietnam, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, South Korea, and other Asia manufacturing hubs.
