Quality Assurance (QA) Manager

As a QA Manager at our well-established garment export house with over 35 years of experience, you will play a crucial role in maintaining the highest product quality standards across all production stages. Your responsibilities will include defining and implementing robust quality systems, ensuring compliance with buyer requirements, and managing a team of quality checkers, inline QA staff, and final inspection teams. You will be the key point of contact for buyer-side QA and third-party inspections, handling quality-related buyer complaints, conducting root cause analysis, and developing corrective action plans. Additionally, you will lead and train a team of inline QAs, final checkers, and quality supervisors, driving continuous improvement and accountability across the team. Monitoring fabric, trims, and garment quality from sourcing to final shipment, conducting audits for stitching, embellishments, print, embroidery, and finishing, and ensuring AQL standards are maintained will also be part of your responsibilities. You will be required to maintain inspection reports, QA checklists, buyer-specific quality documentation, and provide regular reporting to senior management on quality performance and improvement plans. To excel in this role, you must have a minimum of 7 years of experience in quality assurance in garment exports, preferably with woven, knits, and embellished garments. A proven track record in working with international high-street brands and third-party QA agencies, strong leadership, communication, and analytical skills, as well as a deep understanding of AQL levels, buyer quality standards, and export documentation are essential requirements. While a Diploma/Degree in Apparel Technology, Textile Engineering, or related fields is preferred, it is not mandatory. Experience in sustainable and ethical compliance standards and working knowledge of Excel, QA software, or PLM systems would be advantageous. Join us for the opportunity to work with globally recognized brands, be part of a company with strong values, legacy, and innovation, and work in an environment that encourages growth, ownership, and continuous learning.,
