About the Client

One of the largest subsidiaries of a $2B+ global manufacturing and sourcing group operating across 25+ countries. Their platform generates over $700M in revenue by connecting world-class design capability with manufacturing partnerships across Bangladesh, China, Sri Lanka, Turkey, India, and beyond. Their clients include some of the UK and Europe's most recognizable retail brands.

They operate as an ecosystem of entrepreneurs — business leaders who bring deep domain expertise, backed by a shared platform that handles finance, legal, HR, compliance, and commercial infrastructure. It's fast-moving, relationship-driven, and built on a culture of accountability and ownership. They’ve grown rapidly.

But their digital infrastructure hasn't scaled at the same pace as the business. This role is how we solve it.
