  • Collaborate with global technical design teams to establish and maintain standardized fit processes and best practices across regions.
  • Analyze customer feedback, return data, regional sales trends, and fit performance to continuously improve global sizing accuracy and customer satisfaction.
  • Evaluate patterns and grading to ensure consistency and fit integrity across all size ranges and international markets.
  • Troubleshoot technical fit, grading, and construction challenges while providing scalable solutions.
  • Ensure all garments align with company standards for fit, construction, quality, and regional market expectations.
  • Utilize technical design tools and systems including Excel, Google Sheets, PLM systems, and patternmaking software as needed.
