Develop TENTIAL apparel from product concepts to launch, evaluate performance and comfort, coordinate OEM partners and release plans, and improve existing products.
About this role
TENTIAL’s materials development specialist works across near-term and longer-term textile development. Customer feedback and market trends guide development direction with merchandisers and designers, while factory partnerships help turn materials into production-ready products.
Responsibilities include materials development and improvement, production and quality management from development through mass manufacture, and sourcing-strategy design and execution. The specialist coordinates internal stakeholders and material factories, balancing product direction with practical supply and production arrangements. Work spans the lifecycle rather than ending at development.
Applicants need at least five years of materials planning/development at a textile manufacturer, trading company, apparel business or similar organization, along with project management and problem-solving ability. The role seeks proactive issue identification and cooperation to improve effectiveness and quality.
