Role Description Full‑time, on‑site in Los Angeles, CA (Downtown LA / Arts District)
Apparel Manufacturing & Design Assistant (Asia‑Focused Production)
This is an extremely high‑speed, high‑pressure role on a small, lean team. Production is 100% in Asia.
Expect daily 6–8 p.m. PT calls, last‑minute Paris design changes, containers stuck at port, and zero tolerance for delays or excuses. If you move at warp speed, stay ice‑calm under fire, and genuinely enjoy turning chaos into flawless deliveries, this is your arena.
Key Responsibilities
Own every single style from Paris tech pack to warehouse receipt across multiple Asian factories
Primary point of contact for all factories in China, Vietnam, India, Thailand, Indonesia; daily late‑night calls are non‑negotiable
Relentlessly chase samples, lab dips, strike‑offs, PP samples, and bulk production with zero slippage
Build and maintain iron‑clad relationships with factory owners while pushing them harder and faster than anyone else
Plan capacity and secure factory slots 12–18 months ahead in an ultra‑competitive Asian production landscape
Execute all fabric, lace, trim, and embellishment purchases—hitting MOQs, negotiating aggressively, and never paying a penny more than necessary
Instantly implement complex, often last‑minute design changes from Paris without moving a single delivery date
Negotiate pricing, surcharges, air‑freight penalties, and payment terms like your margin depends on it (because it does)
Manage end‑to‑end logistics: booking vessels, consolidating shipments, clearing customs, optimizing costs, and ensuring OTIF delivery
Deliver bullet‑proof, real‑time production reports and cost updates to Paris creative and US sales teams every Monday morning—no exceptions
Cold‑outreach daily to new factories; expand our network and replace any partner that can’t keep up with our pace
You’ll Thrive Here If You Are
4–7+ years hard‑core Asia production experience (luxury or contemporary womenswear; bridal/red‑carpet a huge plus)
Already have direct, proven relationships with top‑tier factories in India & China.
Expert in luxury fabrics, embroidery, beading, lace application, silk dyeing, and couture‑level quality standards
Extreme Excel mastery—complex cost sheets, critical paths, live production trackers updated in real time
A documented history of shaving costs and lead times while increasing quality
Naturally wired for speed: you think, type, and solve problems faster than anyone in the room
Zero‑complaint, solution‑first mindset; you see problems 10 steps before they happen and kill them instantly
Comfortable (and good at) working 50–60 hour weeks when needed and taking 9 p.m. WeChat calls without flinching
Fluent in English; Mandarin and/or Vietnamese strongly preferred
This is not a 9‑to‑5 job. This is not a job for people who need hand‑holding. This is a career‑defining role for someone who wants to run production for one of the fastest‑growing romantic luxury brands in the world—and can prove they were born for the pressure.
In‑person only · Los Angeles HQ · Competitive salary (commensurate with speed & experience) · Health benefits · Clothing allowance · Paid travel to Asia when required.
Benefits & Growth
If you read this and felt a rush of adrenaline instead of dread—apply immediately.
