About the Role
At Happy Socks, our product is our pride and joy. We design, develop, test, learn, and produce unmistakably on-brand products to a
high standard. We have a lean team of knowledgeable, motivated experts, and we thrive in a high-energy, fast-paced environment
where agility, ownership, and adaptability is everything. As our Product Development Coordinator, you are the vital administrative
engine and "connective tissue" bridging our Product Developers (PD), Buyers, Design, Logistics, and Finance teams.
This role is built for someone with incredible attention to detail, a passion for retail and product creation, and a relentless
"get-it-done" attitude. While senior team members manage commercial negotiations and execution, you will be responsible for
keeping the engine running smoothly-tracking milestones, keeping master data pristine, monitoring payment ready dates, and
ensuring shipment visibility.
Key Responsibilities

accuracy across all styles, purchase orders, and SKUs.
● Organize, track, and log Sample Requests (Proto, SMS/Salesman Samples, Photo Samples, and Production Samples), handling physical
sample administration and dispatch.
● Support with monthly order placements as needed
2. . Financial Tracking & Payment Oversight
● Verify and match initial supplier invoices against purchase orders, delivery notes, and agreed payment schedules.
● Track and flag upcoming invoice payment dates to senior team members and Finance to ensure timely payments and prevent release
holds at origin.

● Obsessive Attention to Detail: You love structured data, clear spreadsheets, and double-checking details. You get a sense of
satisfaction from pristine administrative records.
● Startup Mindset & Energy: High energy, self-motivated, proactive, and thrives in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving workplace where
no two days are the same.
● Passionate about Product & Retail: A genuine interest in operations, consumer goods, and how products go from design sketch to
retail shelf.
● Strong Communicator & Connector: You naturally bridge gaps between different departments (PD, Buying, Logistics, Finance) and
keep everyone aligned.
● Problem Solver: You spot discrepancies early, ask questions, and raise flags proactively.
Requirements & Qualifications
● Experience: 1–2 years in an administrative, coordination, or assistant role within retail, production, buying, supply chain, or
e-commerce (or a recent graduate with relevant internships/education in Textile, Retail Management, or Supply Chain), and / or
