About the job
We are looking for a Product Development Lead reporting into the Director of PD and Production. This is a pivotal, hands-on role driving the development of our upcoming product ranges — with a particular focus on mainline fashion and solid gold jewelry. You'll work directly with vendors to make sure every piece meets the standards of quality, sustainability, and design Ana Luisa is known for, taking products from concept all the way to bulk-ready.

It's a great fit for someone scrappy and entrepreneurial who likes to own their work end-to-end. This is a highly visible role with significant cross-functional collaboration across the company — including working directly with our founders.

Own product development for our mainline fashion and solid gold lines, from sourcing request to wholesale-ready and bulk PO issue
Turn sourcing requests into development: complete the tech pack before anything goes to a vendor, brief vendors and place development
Drive protos, V2s and market samples against the PD calendar, and partner with Design and Merchandising in sample, spec and design reviews
Have costing in hand for every style the same week samples are reviewed, and bring cost-engineered options when a target is at risk
Get every line developed, costed and sampled ahead of each wholesale market, and speak to market readiness in our Wholesale Readiness meetings
Set up styles in our PIM and Fulfill systems before market so bulk orders can be placed, then hand off cleanly to our Production Lead
Manage market and creative samples
Build and maintain strong vendor relationships, including regular visits to production sites to ensure ethical practices and quality control
Represent PD in Order This Week and sprint meetings: come in with a point of view on dates, cost and tradeoffs, and drive to decisions
Flag any at-risk date at least two weeks out, with a new date, the root cause and a recovery plan
Conduct market research to stay ahead of trends and consumer preferences in the sustainable jewelry space

5+ years in product development, ideally with a jewelry focus — solid gold experience is highly desirable
Strong understanding of jewelry production techniques, materials, and ethical sourcing
Hands-on experience building tech packs, costing styles and taking a line through wholesale market
Proficiency in product and production systems (PIM/PLM, OMS, EDI) and design tools (Adobe Creative Suite, AutoCAD)
Exceptional project management and organizational skills, with meticulous attention to detail
A scrappy, entrepreneurial mindset — you're resourceful, take ownership, and thrive in a fast-moving environment
A strong communicator and sharp critical thinker who can negotiate, problem-solve, and collaborate effectively across teams and with external partners
A genuine passion for sustainability and ethical fashion
Bachelor's degree in Fashion Design, Jewelry Design, Product Development, or a related field preferred
