Approving materials based on the brand’s procedures, requirements, and standards, while promptly flagging any identified issues to the management for resolution
- Planning tests for monitoring the performance of the material in seasonal SRS and/or bulk production in accordance with the material specifications and brand’s standards
- Developing or modifying test methods for quality assessment of the material
- Providing technical guidance to the suppliers and labs about the brand’s standards, testing, and quality requirements
- Analyzing incoming test reports, approving them, and promptly flagging and following up on any failures or issues as/if needed
- Reviewing bulk production samples (including first bulk batches) received from suppliers and factories, providing feedback, initiating corrective actions and follow-ups as required
- Engaging with the raw material suppliers about implementation of the brand’s quality requirements, reviewing their performance and resolving quality issues
- Onboarding the new suppliers by introducing them to the brand’s material quality requirements and processes
- Assessing material quality issues at the bulk production stage, by gathering information, doing assessments, and providing feedback to the material supplier and garment factories in accordance with the brand’s issue resolution process
- Developing regular reports on the quality and performance of materials and suppliers
- Supporting the documentation of process and workflows
- Upholding Fair Labor Association’s Workplace Code of Conduct and Principles of Fair Labor and Responsible Sourcing throughout the Arc’teryx supply chain

**Here are some of the things you could be working on in the future**:
- Approving new seasonal materials from material developers
- Reviewing lab test reports of seasonal test plans during Sales Rep Samples (SRS) and bulk stage
- Reviewing the incoming bulk quality issues; aligning with internal and external stakeholders and deciding if samples pass or fail

**Are you our next Material Quality Specialist 2?**:

- You have 3+ years’ experience in materials quality, materials development, or têxtile production
- You have a deep knowledge of têxtile fibers, production processes (including spinning, weaving, knitting, dyeing, and finishing), as well as a very strong knowledge of standard test methods for quality testing
- You can make decisions independently by processing data and weighing available information
- You are an innate problem solver, able to offer multiple solutions in the face of ambiguity
- You have a disciplined approach to prioritization and are able to effectively balance competing deadlines
