Who We Are Looking For

The Lead, Materials Manufacturing Engineering (MME) role is responsible for executing manufacturing readiness for new and evolving materials, with a focus on innovation scale-up, supplier ramp-up, and production integration. This role translates upstream readiness strategy into disciplined execution during pilot, scale-up, and early production, ensuring new materials and processes can reliably scale.

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience.
  • 6–8 years of experience in materials manufacturing, supplier management, or production support.
  • Hands‑on experience working directly with suppliers and factory partners.
  • Strong project management and execution discipline with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Clear communication with the ability to proactively escalate risks, influence stakeholders, and drive resolutions.
  • Ability to travel approximately 10%.

What You Will Work On

  • Define and execute manufacturing readiness plans for new, high-risk, or first-of-kind materials and processes to meet our brand and consumer expectations.
  • Drive the transition of new material innovations from development into scalable manufacturing, ensuring quality, delivery, and repeatable production across the supply chain.
  • Support early manufacturing integration activities and timelines, including pilot builds, early production, footwear development, and engineering.
  • Partner closely with suppliers to implement and stabilize new manufacturing methods, workflows, and processes to deliver production needs. Contribute to building scalable manufacturing solutions that can be leveraged across multiple models, seasons, and/or product lines to maximize efficiency and consistency.
  • Identify and mitigate manufacturability, scalability, and capability risks prior to seasonal production. Anticipate constraints in material flow or supplier capability and proactively drive solutions that minimize impact on production readiness.
