About AscendK

AscendK is a new running apparel brand being built with a easy goal — to create high-performance running apparel that runners genuinely want to wear.

We’re looking for an experienced Apparel & Product Development Consultant to work closely with us as we build our first range of products.

This is a hands-on role. We’re looking for someone who understands what happens beyond the sketch — from choosing the right fabric to working with suppliers, manufacturers, sampling units, and getting the final product right.

What You'll Be Doing
Help us select the right performance fabrics for running apparel.
Evaluate fabric properties such as breathability, moisture management, stretch, weight, durability, hand-feel, and comfort.
Attend meetings with fabric suppliers, garment manufacturers, sampling units, and other vendors along with the founder.
Help evaluate suppliers/manufacturers based on quality, capabilities, costing, MOQ,



and production feasibility.
Work with us on apparel design and product development.
Advise on fit, construction, stitching, finishing, measurements, and garment details.
Review samples and provide technical feedback and improvements.
Help convert product ideas into production-ready garments.
Assist with tech packs/specifications where required.
Be involved from concept → fabric → design → sampling → manufacturing → final product.

Must-Have Requirements
3+ years of relevant experience in apparel, sportswear, activewear, or product development.
Strong, practical knowledge of fabric suppliers and garment manufacturers.
Must be willing and available to physically attend supplier, manufacturer, sampling, and other product development meetings when required.
Hands-on experience with fabric sourcing, garment development, sampling, fit, and production.
Experience specifically with running/performance
