As our portfolio of collectibles and toys expands, the Toy & Collectibles team is in need of additional support. We are seeking a highly organized and detail-oriented Production & Development Coordinator to support the development, sampling, and production of new toy and collectible formats. This role sits at the intersection of creative development and manufacturing execution, working closely with internal teams and overseas factory partners—primarily in China—to ensure projects stay on schedule, on budget, and aligned with quality expectations.

This is an ideal role for someone who enjoys managing multiple moving parts, translating creative ideas into manufacturable products, and maintaining clear communication across time zones.

• Coordinate the end-to-end development process for new toy and collectible concepts, from initial idea through approved samples.
• Manage sample requests, revisions, approvals, and timelines across multiple product formats.
• Track iterations of tooling, materials, colors, finishes, and packaging during development.
• Ensure development aligns with design intent, safety standards, and cost targets.
• Serve as the primary point of contact with overseas factories for assigned projects.
• Communicate clear development briefs, timelines, and expectations to factory partners.
• Follow up regularly to ensure factories remain on task and on schedule.
• Review factory feedback, flag risks, and propose solutions to keep projects moving forward.
• Monitor critical milestones (samples, tooling, pre-production, production readiness).
• Identify potential delays early and work with internal teams and factories to resolve them.
• Coordinate internal approvals across design, brand, and leadership.

• 2–5 years of experience in production coordination, product development, or sourcing—preferably in toys, collectibles, consumer products, or hardgoods.
• Experience working with overseas factories, especially in China.
• Strong understanding of product development and sampling workflows.
• Excellent organizational and follow-up skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable working across time zones and with cross-functional teams.
• Proficiency with project tracking tools (Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable, or similar).
