• Strong understanding of materials, manufacturing processes, and supplier capabilities.
• Experience creating product specs, tech packs, RFQs or production-ready briefs.
• Experience in pet products, toys, chews, accessories, juvenile products or care-led categories is a plus.
• Highly organised and comfortable managing multiple projects at the same time.
• Proactive, self-directed, and able to work with limited supervision.
• Strong communication skills with suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Good understanding of Western consumers, especially the US market.
• Experience working with suppliers in China or other Asian markets.

• You’ll help build a new brand from an early stage.
