• Update and maintain detailed tech packs, including measurements, construction details, BOMs, and specifications.
• Partner with Patternmaking and Product Development to ensure pattern changes align with fit direction and brand standards.
• Review prototypes and SMS samples for construction quality, stitch details, finishing, and consistency with approved specifications.
• Communicate fit and construction updates clearly and accurately across internal teams.
• Troubleshoot construction and pattern issues to improve fit, consistency, and cost efficiency.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Strong knowledge of patterns, including pattern shapes, grading, fit implications, and alterations.
• Experience capturing and organizing fit comments and notes during fittings.
• Solid denim garment-construction knowledge, including seams, finishes, and stitch types.
• The ability to interpret design intent and translate it into clear technical direction.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities and tight timelines.
• Proficiency with industry tools such as Adobe Illustrator and PLM systems for tech pack updates.
