· Stay current on evolving compliance requirements and retailer standards through ongoing research and participation in industry workshops

Operational Execution

· Oversee the full sampling process including prototyping, revisions, and final approvals

· Troubleshoot production challenges and implement solutions quickly without disrupting timelines

· Maintain detailed tracking of projects, approvals, costing, compliance status, and production progress across multiple SKUs simultaneously
