Handle remakes, repairs, resizing, and order modifications with a structured, process-driven approach.
Own escalations end-to-end and ensure every exception is documented so it doesn't recur.
Design Team & Factory Coordination:
Coordinate daily with CAD designers and partner factories to ensure structural integrity, correct prong/setting specifications, and manufacturing feasibility before moving to mass production.

Calculate highly accurate product costing. Comparing and locking the pricing from the factory with the master product list.

• Get frustrated by manual, repetitive work and are always thinking about how to fix it.
• Have strong opinions about how processes should be documented and followed.
• Can zoom out from the day-to-day and think about what the team will need at 2x or 3x current volume.
