About the role
We are seeking an experienced apparel Product Integrity & Compliance Manager to own retailer testing and product compliance coordination for major U.
S. retail brands, including Costco, Walmart, Sam’s Club, and Target. This is a brand-facing, cross-functional coordination role—not a hands-on laboratory technician position. The successful candidate will communicate directly with brand, Design, Technical Design, Production, Sourcing, vendor, and third-party laboratory teams to address testing requirements, failures, corrective actions, and shipment risks.

Key responsibilities
· Own and coordinate apparel product testing and compliance programs from product development through bulk production and shipment.
· Communicate directly with U.
S. brand-facing teams and collaborate with Design, Technical Design, Production, Sourcing, Merchandising, vendors, and factories.
· Interpret U.
S. retailer-specific testing requirements and ensure timely execution through third-party laboratories.
· Review test reports, identify failures, coordinate root-cause investigations, corrective action plans, retesting, and product disposition recommendations.
· Maintain testing protocols for physical, chemical, performance, and safety requirements across apparel categories.
· Ensure adherence to relevant CPSIA, REACH, California Proposition 65, AATCC, ASTM, and ISO requirements and standards.




· Manage children’s apparel safety reviews and retailer-specific compliance expectations.
· Maintain accurate test records, certifications, and compliance documentation, including GRS/RCS where applicable.
· Support vendor onboarding and training on retailer testing protocols; participate in PO handoffs, product reviews, and brand/licensor discussions.
· Escalate testing failures, compliance risks, and shipment-impacting issues proactively to the appropriate stakeholders. Required qualifications
· Solid professional experience in apparel product integrity, product testing coordination, quality, or regulatory compliance.
· Demonstrated direct communication with U.
S. retail brands, buying offices, or brand-facing compliance teams—not solely forwarding reports to another laboratory.
· Hands-on coordination with Design, Technical Design, Production, Sourcing, factories, vendors, and external laboratories.
· Ability to interpret testing protocols and laboratory results, explain failures, and independently drive corrective actions and retesting.
· Experience with children’s apparel product testing and safety compliance (mandatory).
· Knowledge of CPSIA, REACH, Prop 65 and relevant AATCC, ASTM, and ISO standards.




· Excellent spoken and written English communication; able to work independently during U.
S. Eastern hours. Preferred experienceExperience supporting testing and compliance programs for Costco, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Target, or comparable U.
S. retailers. Important role distinctionThis position does not involve performing laboratory tests. Candidates whose work has been limited to bench testing or transmitting reports without direct U.
S. brand-facing and cross-functional ownership are unlikely to meet the role requirements.
