Rag & Bone

About rag & bone
From our origins in New York in 2002, rag & bone was founded on a belief of uncompromising ideals: a commitment to doing things the right way, not the easy way. To making things that are as original as they are timeless. To being true to ourselves, even when that truth sets us apart from the mainstream. 

 
We still believe in the same principles we started with: the easy elegance of classic British tailoring, the authenticity of American workwear, and the originality of our home city, New York. As New Yorkers, community and authenticity have become synonymous with our brand. An inclusive environment at rag & bone upholds our original values by encouraging employee connection and empowering each individual to have a voice on policy, process and collaboration for a more equitable future. 

Job Summary:
rag & bone is seeking a skilled and detail-oriented Product Development Associate to join our Accessories team. In this role, you will be instrumental in bringing our design team's concepts to life, serving as a key connector between creative vision and factory execution. You will manage all product and sourcing functions from initial development through production, collaborating daily with Design, Merchandising, and Production to ensure accuracy, quality, and on-time delivery across every stage.

  • Manage Seasonal Product Knowledge for Market Wedge and E-commerce

  • Lead the development and sourcing of all raw materials through nominated and factory sourced suppliers — including leather, textiles, and trims — from initial development through production
  • Manage seasonal color standards and approvals from proto through production
  • Prepare and distribute all color masters to factories and suppliers
  • Coordinate materials for trials and prototypes as needed
  • Compile all MDS and costing information from suppliers and relay to factories in a timely manner
  • Counter-source materials that fall outside price or MOQ targets
  • Evaluate suppliers based on specialty, cost, quality, and lead times; conduct regular cost exercises
Invoicing
  • Code all sample and material invoices and ensure timely submission and payment
Requirements:
  • Minimum 3 years of experience in Product Development, with a focus on Soft Accessories or Leathergoods
  • Highly organized with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities and meet tight deadlines
  • Strong communication and follow-up skills
  • Self-motivated and solutions-driven, with a proactive approach to new and complex challenges
