Who is Manmade?
We’re a Montreal-based online retailer of premium quality essentials, known particularly so far for our men’s boxer briefs. We have been rapidly growing since launching in 2021, and the brand is truly at a turning point to becoming a household name in Canada, and already growing in parallel in the US market.
Who are we looking for?
A Sourcing Manager that will be responsible for managing the end-to-end sourcing process for our men’s lines. This role requires a keen eye for quality, as it is an integral part of the Manmade brand, and the ability to build and maintain relationships with suppliers. The ideal candidate will be proactive, analytical, and have a passion for the fashion and apparel industry.
Is this for you?
We are growing so rapidly, so things are changing quickly, and an in-house presence is required. At this time, we can’t accommodate any “remote” or “hybrid” type of work arrangements. The role requires traveling to meet potential suppliers and factories, both domestically and internationally.
What else are we offering?
We offer extended health and dental benefits, 100% fully paid by the employer. We offer catered lunches every day and all the snacks, drinks, coffee, and fruit you could want.
Even though we’re a fast-growing company, your work-life balance will not be compromised as long as you can meet expectations within your work hours.
Responsibilities:
- Work with our Fabric Engineer to source or develop new fabrics according to our specifications with new independent mills.
- Work with the design department to source and develop new garments with cut and sew factories.
- Facilitate the collaboration between fabric mills and cut and sew factories.
- Evaluate opportunities for vertically integrated factories.
- Collaborate with the quality assurance team to ensure that all sourced materials and products meet our quality standards and specifications.
- Manage the relationship with potential suppliers until the start of the production process.
- Negotiate contracts and pricing to achieve optimal terms.
- Analyze cost structures and work to reduce expenses while maintaining high-quality standards during the sourcing process.
- Create and communicate sourcing strategies and calculate potential risks such as geopolitical, factory capacity, machinery, compliance and quality standards.
- Work closely with our customs broker to understand tariffs and duties involved between different countries.
- Partner with design, production, and marketing teams to align sourcing strategies with product development and business goals.
- Work with the forecasting team to determine volume expectation
- Assist in developing the fabric and trim library for the design division.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Fashion Merchandising, or a related field is considered an asset.
- Minimum of 7 years of experience in sourcing or procurement, preferably within the apparel or undergarment industry.
- Strong negotiation and communication skills.
- Proficiency in sourcing software and tools.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities.
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and work under tight deadlines.
- Familiarity with fabric types, garment construction, and quality standards for men’s undergarments.
