Project Manager – Fashion Manufacturing – N180,000 – N260,000 a month

Full job description

Design for Love is looking for a highly organised Production Project Manager to coordinate workflow across our ready-to-wear production factory and supporting departments.

The successful candidate will plan, prioritise and track jobs across production, procurement, customer service, retail, fulfilment, operations and creative teams.

This is not a tailoring role. The candidate does not need to know how to sew, but must be able to manage multiple jobs, deadlines, departments and dependencies in a structured and efficient manner.

Key Responsibilities

· Prepare and manage daily and weekly production schedules.

· Prioritise customer orders, retail restocks, collection production and urgent jobs.

· Coordinate tasks across production, procurement, customer service, retail and fulfilment.

· Maintain a central tracker showing the status, owner, deadline and next action for each job.

· Monitor jobs from order confirmation through production, quality control and fulfilment.

· Identify potential delays and escalate them before deadlines are missed.

· Coordinate fabric, trims, packaging and other material requirements.

· Follow up with departments and team members to ensure tasks are completed.

· Ensure completed garments move promptly to quality control and fulfilment.

· Prepare regular production and operations updates for management.

· Improve workflows, handoffs and communication between departments.

Requirements

· Minimum of three years’ experience in project management, operations, production planning, logistics, supply chain or a related role.

· Demonstrated experience coordinating multiple departments or functional teams.

· Experience managing several jobs, projects and deadlines simultaneously.

· Strong planning, prioritisation and follow-up skills.

· Proficiency in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.

· Experience using project-management or workflow tools is an advantage.

· Strong communication, problem-solving and reporting skills.

· Ability to work full-time and on-site in a fast-paced factory environment.

Experience in fashion or garment production is an advantage but is not compulsory.

The Ideal Candidate

You should be:

· Highly organised and proactive.

· Comfortable holding team members accountable.

· Able to identify risks and delays early.

· Confident coordinating people across different departments.

· Calm under pressure and able to manage changing priorities.

· Focused on execution, deadlines and measurable results.

Pay: ₦180,000.00 – ₦260,000.00 per month
