mileoff is building the future of women’s running wear — highly functional, beautifully designed, and with performance at the heart. We’re looking for someone to take full ownership of product development, manufacturing, forecasting and supply chain operations. You’ll wear many hats, design, production, and logistics, ensuring our collections launch on time, on budget, and to the highest standard. This is a hands‑on role for someone who thrives on detail, deadlines, and problem solving, but who is also extremely creative and innovative and wants to make an impact on a brand that’s scaling fast.
Whatyou’ll do Product Development
- Partner with freelance designer to translate concepts into final CADs and tech packs.

- Oversee size grading and final specs to guarantee consistency across styles and sizes.
- Build and own the seasonal product development critical path, proactively flagging risks and bottlenecks.
- Source fabrics, trims, packaging, and innovations that differentiate mileoff’s product line.
- Track product costing, lead times, and margins to support commercial decision‑making.
- Manage communication with global suppliers and factories (China, Portugal, others).
- Oversee production timelines, MOQs, and raw material orders.
- Forecast demand, stock management and coordinate inbound shipments with 3PL.
- Sync production timelines with marketing launches to ensure smooth drops.
- Anticipate and troubleshoot supply chain risks (delays, shortages, compliance).
- Support sustainability initiatives and factory vetting.
- 7+ years in product development and supply chain for sportswear or performance wear.
- Proven track record managing critical paths, product costing, and factory relationships.
- Comfortable leading fit sessions and technical conversations with suppliers.
- Strong sourcing knowledge (fabrics, trims, packaging, compliance).
- Excel at building systems and processes in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment.
- Passion for running/fitness and an eye for performance wear innovation is a must.
Product is everything for us and we want someone who can obsess over it all day, everyday. You’ll work with the founder’s creative vision and together turn this into a reality, all with the aim of making the best performance running wear for women.
