Are you an experienced production professional with a love for fashion and a knack for organisation? This is an exciting opportunity to join a bold Australian label with a global following, where you’ll oversee production for collections that set trends and empower self-expression.
Our client is a contemporary fashion brand known for designing in-house collections that capture the latest trends, social moments, and street-style influences. With a strong online presence and growing global reach, they’ve built a reputation for delivering trend-driven collections while giving back through meaningful social impact initiatives.

The Role
The Production Manager will oversee the end-to-end production process — from planning, sourcing, and supplier liaison through to final delivery. You’ll drive efficiency, ensure product quality, and balance cost with creativity.
With oversight of factories, suppliers, and internal teams, this role demands strong leadership, attention to detail, and the ability to keep projects on track in line with critical paths and marketing calendars.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and manage production schedules to ensure timely delivery of collections.
Oversee sample tracking and approvals to keep collections moving on time.
Lead, mentor, and motivate the production team, fostering a collaborative culture.

Approve factory invoices and oversee costings to align with business goals.
Implement and monitor quality control standards across all production.
Allocate production styles based on supplier capabilities and capacity.
Monitor workflows, inventory levels, and logistics to ensure smooth operations.
Update and manage critical production documentation, including Airtable, Critical Path, and Marketing Calendars.
Analyse production processes and identify opportunities for efficiency and improvement.
Ensure compliance with workplace safety and sustainability practices.
Provide cross-functional support to wholesale, logistics, and customer service where needed.

A competitive salary and benefits package.
A dynamic, creative, and fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.
Opportunities for professional growth and career development.
