We’re looking for an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Production Coordinator to join our team in Sydney. If you’re passionate about supply chain management, love working in a fast-paced environment, and thrive on ensuring smooth operations, this could be the perfect role for you.
About the Role
As the Production Coordinator, you’ll play a pivotal role in our local manufacturing supply chain and production operations. You’ll collaborate with local manufacturers, designers, and logistics to ensure our Australian-made swimwear meet Budgy Smuggler’s high standards and speedy turnaround times.
You’ll take ownership of local production schedules, quality control, and inventory management, while keeping our internal teams and customers in the loop every step of the way.
Key Responsibilities Include:
- Production Coordination: Maintain production timelines for custom, DIY, and stock swimwear orders with turnaround times as tight as 10-20 days.
- Manufacturer Liaison: Work closely with local manufacturers to confirm schedules, track progress, and troubleshoot any delays.
- Quality Control: Ensure all products meet Budgy Smuggler’s quality standards through pre- and post-production checks.
- Inventory Management: Create and update product listings on Shopify, manage barcodes, and monitor supplies to avoid production delays.
- Team Collaboration: Act as the go-to person for customer service and internal teams for order updates, status visibility, and process improvements.
- Reporting: Provide regular updates to the Supply Chain Manager and Marketing Team on production progress, inventory levels, and product performance.
What You’ll Bring to the Team
- Proven Experience: 2+ years in production coordination, supply chain, or a related field (apparel or swimwear experience is a bonus).
- Organisational Skills: Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
- Communication Skills: Strong written and verbal communication, with experience liaising across teams and with external suppliers.
- Tech Savvy: Proficient in Microsoft Office and inventory/supply chain management software.
- Problem-Solving: Proactive and resourceful approach to overcoming challenges.
