Design-Led Sourcing & Business Development Partner (Part-Time | NYC)
We are building a global fashion sourcing and production bridge connecting New York brands with premium manufacturing partners across Turkey, India, Vietnam, and Bangladesh.
We design, develop, and source fashion collections — and we are now expanding our presence in New York.
We are looking for a style-aware, commercially sharp professional who can represent our collections, pitch seasonal capsules, and develop wholesale partnerships across NYC.

    What We Offer:
  • Flexible part-time structure
  • Competitive base + performance commission
  • Direct exposure to global production network

If you understand fashion beyond trends — and see opportunity in design-led sourcing — we’d love to connect.
