Boll & Branch is looking for a Manager, Sourcing & Production to join our team and play a central role in bringing our premium home textile products to market. You will own end-to-end sourcing and production execution across our ethical and sustainable supply chain, actively building and managing vendor relationships from initial identification and onboarding through PO issuance and on-time delivery, while maintaining the cost discipline and quality standards the brand is known for.

The ideal candidate has deep, hands-on knowledge of how home textile products are made and the cross-functional fluency to translate production realities into business context for partners across QA/Compliance, Merchandising, Planning, Finance, Product Development, and Design.

• Monitor in-season delivery performance, flag disruptions early, and suggest a path forward

Factory Partnerships

• Communicate directly with factory partners to surface risk early, escalate appropriately, and drive resolution

• Contribute to process improvement initiatives with a focus on communication, visibility, and decision-making quality

• You build trust through reliability and consistent follow-through, and works fluidly across functions and levels
• Strong operational instincts; highly organized and systems-oriented, comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• You stay curious when priorities or timelines shift — reassessing quickly, trying new tools or approaches, and keeping production moving forward rather than waiting to be told what's next
• A genuine interest in product and how it's made; you…
