ABOUT ANML
ANML is a design house investigating the relationship between humans and animals. Through lifestyle products, accessories, objects and material experimentation, we explore the cultural, ecological and emotional systems that connect species.
Rather than designing for animals alone, ANML treats design as a medium of enquiry — questioning how we live with animals, how we imagine them, and how we build worlds alongside them.
THE ROLE
We are seeking a Production Lead to take an idea from first sketch to finished object.
Working closely with the Creative Director, you will own product development, sampling and vendor ecosystems across apparel, accessories and objects — translating conceptual intent into manufacturable, well-made products without dulling its edge.

• Build and issue detailed tech packs, specification sheets and BOMs.
• Lead material and construction research; propose alternatives that improve cost, durability or ecological footprint.
• Maintain development calendars and ensure critical-path dates are met.
Vendor Sourcing & Management
• Identify, evaluate and onboard suppliers, manufacturers and craft partners across clothing, accessories and objects.
• Negotiate costings, MOQs and lead times; maintain a cost-engineering view without compromising design intent.
• Build durable, long-term relationships with the vendor base and conduct in office visits as required.
Production & Quality
• Oversee bulk production, quality-control benchmarks and in-line inspections.
• Resolve production issues in real time, balancing timelines, cost and creative standards.
• Maintain rigorous documentation — vendor records, costings, samples an
