As a Senior Merchandiser in Fashion & Apparel with a specialization in woven fabrics, your role at HAY involves leading and coordinating activities related to design, sourcing, and production. Your understanding of fabric behavior, trims, and execution timelines will be crucial in ensuring the successful launch of ideas. HAY is a rapidly expanding women's wear brand that focuses on blending comfort, culture, and everyday style. With a significant presence both offline and online, we cater to a diverse range of women, including students, working professionals, and young mothers. Our goal is to make thoughtfully designed fashion more accessible to individuals in Tier 2, 3, and 4 cities through various retail channels. Your responsibilities will include sourcing and developing woven fabrics such as cotton, viscose, and rayon in line with design requirements. Building and maintaining a network of vendors to ensure consistent quality and competitive pricing will be essential. Additionally, you will oversee activities such as managing lab dips, strike-offs, and bulk fabric follow-ups. Acting as the primary liaison between designers, sourcing specialists, and production teams, you will play a crucial role in ensuring seamless coordination among different functions. Your daily follow-ups will be instrumental in monitoring the progress of samples, fabric developments, and purchase orders to ensure timely completion. Furthermore, you will be responsible for coordinating with print vendors for design transfers, strike-off approvals, and corrections. Your role will also involve overseeing the timely execution of digital/rotary prints, embroideries, and other embellishments to enhance the visual appeal of the collections. Collaborating with production teams, you will oversee the entire production process from design handover to bulk delivery. By identifying potential delays early on, escalating issues when necessary, and ensuring all targets are met, you will contribute to the efficiency of the production cycle. Taking ownership of collection launch calendars, you will create, manage, and track schedules to ensure that all stakeholders are aligned. Your ability to maintain the timely readiness of collections across different seasons will be critical to the success of the brand. To excel in this role, you should have at least 3 years of experience in merchandising for apparel brands, with a strong technical knowledge of woven fabrics, printing, and trims. Excellent follow-up skills, vendor negotiation abilities, and team coordination experience are essential. Proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets is required, and familiarity with Airtable is advantageous. Previous experience in fast-paced or high-growth fashion environments would be beneficial for this position.,
