Job Description
Fabletics is looking for a Merchandise Production Manager.
How do you fit in?
The Merchandise Production Manager for Graphics owns the graphics chase program end-to-end for the Fabletics businesses using in-house blanks — including special print projects for collaborations and licensing. As the sole driver of this business, you will set the strategy and execute every step of it: prototyping, costing, PO management, vendor communication, and on-time delivery. You will define the calendar, manage the vendor base, and partner closely with merchandising, design, and accounting to bring graphic product to market on a condensed timeline.
The ideal candidate is a hands-on operator who thrives on full ownership — equally comfortable shaping a roadmap and chasing down a sample. You move fast, manage many concurrent projects without losing detail, and bring the urgency and accountability that a sole-driver role demands.
The Merchandise Production Manager role will report to the Sr. Director, Product Development & Sourcing – Men’s.
What you will do:
Own the graphics chase program end-to-end — strategy, calendar, execution, and delivery — as the sole driver of the business
Partner with merchandising and buying teams to analyze demand and translate it into a seasonal graphics buy plan
Collaborate with design to develop and approve all graphics programs using in-house blanks; manage artwork, pitch sheets, and revisions with the printer
Build the full cost picture for every style — partner with accounting on blank costs and negotiate print, setup, freight, and duty costs with vendors to produce tiered quotes
Manage sample development end-to-end: order blank samples, route prototypes, and drive approvals against the calendar
Lead special print projects for collaborations and licensing — gather required briefs and assets from cross-functional teams, build T&A calendars, and keep all partners on track to milestones
Create style numbers and BOMs in PLM, pull blank inventory, and coordinate shipment of blanks to vendors
Send monthly buys to each vendor and partner with the offshore team to create, reconcile, and recap all POs for the graphics business
Own daily vendor communication and maintain a live WIP report; review weekly with the Sr. Director
Define, document, and continuously optimize the graphics calendar and end-to-end process
Source, vet, and onboard new domestic printers and embellishers to support category expansion
What you can bring:
5+ years of production experience including working with domestic vendors
3+ years of experience working in PLM and purchase order creation systems
Operational knowledge of inventory management, logistics, and fulfillment
Bachelor's degree in business, apparel manufacturing, or product development
Experience with screen printing, embroidery, and other embellishment
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Proficiency in MS Excel, with the ability to use lookup functions and create pivot tables
Detail-oriented with the ability to multitask, prioritizing as needed to meet deadlines
Able to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with a high level of collaboration, urgency and accountability
Ideal candidate brings foundational AI literacy, including experience using generative AI tools, and a proactive mindset to experiment with new technologies to drive productivity and innovation.

This role will be based in our El Segundo Headquarters
