Sample Coordinator

Our client, a well-known apparel retailer with multiple brands, is looking for a Sample Coordinator to join their merchandising team. You'll keep samples moving through each seasonal flow on time, keep them organized and tracked, and be the go-to person for arrivals and delays. If you like being organized, staying on top of the details, and supporting a busy team, this is a great fit.

What You'll Do

• Make sure samples arrive on time for each seasonal flow, and follow up when something is running behind
• Receive, log, and organize incoming samples so the team can find what they need quickly
• Keep accurate receiving records and tracking logs for every sample
• Give the Merchandising team regular updates on arrivals, delays, and anything that could affect timelines
• Build strong working relationships with Brand Merchandise Assistants (MAs) across the team
• Pull product details from several internal systems to build copy fact sheets
• Help the whole team with other projects and day-to-day needs

What You Bring

• 1+ years of experience in sample coordination, merchandising support, product development, or a similar retail or apparel role
• Strong organization skills and good attention to detail
• Clear, proactive communication, especially when timelines shift
• Comfort learning and moving between several systems (PLM or product databases are a plus)
• Solid Excel or Google Sheets skills for tracking and records
• The ability to juggle multiple seasons and priorities in a fast-moving environment
• A team-first, flexible attitude and willingness to help where needed

Nice to Have

• Experience in apparel, accessories, or retail merchandising
• Familiarity with seasonal calendars and product flow
• Experience writing or assembling product copy or fact sheets
