As a Senior QC Manager, you are Suitsupply’s senior quality lead across a network of production sites, responsible for the consistency and integrity of every garment before it leaves the factory. You will manage a team of factory-embedded QC Inspectors, drive rigorous inspection standards, and act as the primary bridge between the factory floor and Suitsupply’s central quality function. Regular factory visits are a core part of this role — this is a hands-on, field-present leadership position that combines people management, data analysis, and supplier development to directly influence the quality of Suitsupply’s global product.

* Oversee Stage 5 (FRI) inspection quality across all assigned factories, ensuring AQL compliance and consistent application of Suitsupply inspection criteria.
* Review and validate inspection reports and Stage 7 defect data submitted by inspectors.
* Monitor factory scorecards and identify quality trends, systemic issues, and risk patterns across the region.
* Escalate critical quality issues to the Head of Quality and coordinate cross-functional responses.
* Conduct regular factory visits to audit inspection quality and support inspector development — travel is a central part of this role.
* Lead Stage 4 (in-line) reporting oversight, ensuring early risk identification is acted upon.
* Partner with Sourcing and Product teams on new factory onboarding and capability assessment.
* Drive Phase 2 factory capability development initiatives across assigned factories.
* Maintain strong relationships with factory QC and production management teams.
* Contribute to the continuous improvement of inspection standards, tools, and processes.
