 * Maintain BOMs and product information within PLM, ensuring design changes are accurately captured throughout development.
 * Attend fit sessions and work closely with Garment Technology to maintain design intent, fit and performance.

 * Manage your workload against GTM milestones, taking increasing ownership of your product areas and proactively flagging challenges.
 * Support and mentor the Design Assistant, developing your own confidence in delegation and leadership.
