  • Project & Supply Chain Coordination :

  • Track and monitor critical path timelines for key client orders and production cycles, providing the CEO with timely updates.
  • Assist in preparing for key milestones such as proto reviews, fit sessions, and shipment deadlines by ensuring all necessary samples and data are available.

  • Qualifications & Experience :

  • Must-Haves :
  • 5+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant, preferably supporting C-level executives in fashion, apparel, retail, or a related fast-paced industry (e.g., luxury goods, manufacturing, exports).
  • Impeccable organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities with a high sense of urgency.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Tech-savvy with advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel, Word) and Google Workspace.
  • Proven experience managing complex international travel and scheduling across time zones.
  • Highly Desired :
  • A genuine passion for and understanding of the fashion industry and global supply chain dynamics.

  • Global Focus :  It emphasizes international travel, multiple time zones, and cross-cultural communication.
  • Beyond Admin :  It frames the role as a 'strategic partner' and 'central hub,' attracting higher-caliber candidates looking for a career, not just a job.
