• Liaise directly with factories to confirm production status and readiness
• Validate production timelines and completion dates
• Identify risks early and flag potential delays
• Coordinate partial shipments when necessary to meet delivery goals
• Schedule inspections with third-party QC providers (e.g., QIMA)
• Ensure inspections are conducted upon production completion
• Monitor QC portals, documentation, and follow-ups
• Review inspection results (pass/fail) and manage resolution of failures
• Approve shipments only after QC clearance
• Communicate QC status to logistics and planning teams
• Partner closely with Planning, Supply Chain, and Logistics teams
• Provide clear updates on production status, risks, and shipment timelines
• Align production capacity with forecasted demand
• Escalate production or quality issues with actionable solutions

• Strong understanding of production tracking, timelines, and shipment coordination
• Proven ability to identify risks and proactively resolve issues
• Experience managing partial shipments and order adjustments
• Advanced proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets (trackers, data accuracy, production calendars)
• Familiarity with QC portals, inspection workflows, and documentation processes
• Solid understanding of end-to-end supply chain flow (production → QC → logistics → shipment)
• Ability to manage multiple POs and timelines simultaneously
• Strong communication skills, especially with international factory partners
