ABOUT DECJUBA

At DECJUBA, we’re all about effortless, edgy fashion and empowering our community to live their best life. We’re passionate, driven and collaborative and we’re looking for a commercially minded Production Lead to take the next step in their career and lead production across multiple product categories.

 

This is an opportunity for someone currently operating at a Senior Production/Production Lead level who is ready to step into broader ownership and grow into a leadership role within a supportive and experienced team.

 

ABOUT THE ROLE

As our Production Lead, you will own production execution across categories, working closely with Buying, QA, Planning and Compliance to deliver product on time, to quality standards and within margin.

 

You’ll manage offshore suppliers, drive accountability across the supply chain and oversee trims, packaging and production documentation standards. The role focuses on decision making, problem solving and supplier partnership, not just critical path tracking.

 

You will be supported by senior leadership and given the opportunity to develop into a fully independent category owner.

  • Drive supplier performance and accountability
  • Support onboarding and capability development of suppliers
  • Partner with QA on issue resolution and prevention

Commercial & Costing

  • Identify commercial risks and alternative solutions
  • Work with Buying on cost-effective product execution

Trims, Packaging & Documentation

  • Manage trims and packaging development timelines
  • Ensure clear and accurate production documentation
  • Improve handover quality to reduce bulk issues

Team Collaboration

  • Work collaboratively across Buying, QA, Planning and Compliance
  • Support sampling and fitting decisions impacting delivery or cost
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of production processes

 

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

  • Experience in a Senior Production Coordinator / Production Lead role (or similar)
  • Exposure to managing offshore suppliers and multiple product categories
  • Strong organisation and communication skills
  • Commercial awareness across costing and delivery
  • Understanding of trims, packaging and production documentation
