They will serve as an internal resource on fabric characteristics, fiber content, construction, and end-use applications while ensuring products are accurately represented online.

The Textile Product Specialist will work closely with our Product Content Team to prepare products for launch and maintain the quality and accuracy of our product catalog.

Assign appropriate color families, categories, and subcategories.
Ensure products have accurate pricing and product information prior to launch.
Update existing product information as needed, including titles, group numbers, classifications, and corrected specifications.

Textile Identification & Classification

Evaluate fabrics and textiles to determine appropriate classifications and product descriptions.
Identify fabric constructions, weaves, knits, and specialty textile characteristics.
Assess fabric hand, drape, weight, stretch, opacity, and recommended end uses.
Verify or assist in determining fiber content through documentation review, physical inspection, and burn testing when necessary.
Help identify unknown, mislabeled, or incomplete products received from vendors.

Quality Control

Review and process product data corrections and updates.
Process product information such as GSM updates.
Verify the accuracy and consistency of textile information across product listings.
Assist in maintaining data standards for product catalog organization and classification.

Product & Inventory Support

Serve as a resource for Customer Service by answering questions regarding fabric properties, sewing applications, garment suitability, and product specifications.
Occasionally inspect products in the warehouse to verify colors, textures, fabric characteristics, or other details.
Assist the Inventory team with fabric identification, color discrepancies, unlabeled products, and determining appropriate panel cut locations.
Serve as an internal textile knowledge resource across multiple departments.

Qualifications

Required Skills & Experience

Advanced knowledge of fabrics, textiles, fibers, fabric construction, and sewing.
Strong understanding of natural fibers, synthetic fibers, blends, woven fabrics, knit fabrics, and specialty textiles.
Experience identifying fabric characteristics, including hand, drape, stretch, weight, and end-use applications.
Understanding of fiber identification methods, including burn testing.
Exceptional attention to detail and organizational skills.
Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously.
Experience working with spreadsheets and product data.
Strong written communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

Professional experience in textiles, fabric retail, apparel production, costume design, fashion design, sewing, product development, or a related field.
Experience with Shopify.
Experience with CounterPoint or similar inventory/POS systems.
Proficiency with Google Workspace (Google Sheets, Docs, Drive, Calendar).
