At GANT Footwear, we combine the heritage of an iconic brand with the agility of a start-up. As we continue to scale our newly established subsidiary to GANT AB, we’re looking for an Operations Coordinator to keep our seasonal engine running with structure, accuracy, and pace.

In this hands-on role, you will maintain and update master data in PLM and PIM, coordinate marketing and SMS sample logistics, and support Go-to-Market (GTM) planning by preparing data, tracking deliverables, and keeping the critical path on schedule. You’ll follow established procedures, troubleshoot data issues, flag risks early, and support smooth ERP product data handoffs.

You will work cross-functionally with Product & Operations, Sourcing & QA, Brand, Commercial, and Finance—as well as Global functions at GANT AB—to ensure that our operations deliver on speed, quality, cost efficiency, and scalability.

• Update and maintain assigned master data in PLM, PIM & ERP, ensuring accuracy throughout the product lifecycle.

• Assist in coordinating seasonal operational activities, including set-up of assortments in PLM/PIM, line lists, and product information handovers, according to the seasonal calendar.

• Track and communicate carry-over (CO) sample data; prepare sample allocations as directed.

• Monitor key dates in the critical path and flag deviations to the Product & Operations Manager; follow up on status with stakeholders.

Sample Management

• Coordinate marketing and SMS samples: ordering, tracking, unpacking, allocation, and coordination with Brand, PR, and other teams.

• Arrange shipments between HQ, warehouses, and external locations; track delivery status and escalate delays.

• Maintain the sample archive by organizing, inventorying, packing down, and archiving past-season samples; prepare items for responsible disposal per guidelines.

• Support sample-related activities (photo shoots, PR events, influencer loans, product launches) by preparing materials and tracking returns.

Cross-Functional Process Support

• Support GTM planning by preparing checklists and status updates to help keep operational readiness on track; align deliverables with Brand, Design, Sourcing, and Commercial teams.

• Liaise with stakeholders to coordinate information and next steps; escalate issues for decision/resolution when required.

• Suggest minor process improvements for review and document approved changes; follow defined procedures.

• 1–3 years’ experience in product data management, operations, or coordination within fashion or retail
• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Fashion Management, Supply Chain, or related field 
• Structured, detail-oriented, and able to prioritize effectively
• Strong coordination, communication, and problem-solving skills
• Adaptable in fast-paced, changing environments
• Fluent in English (written and spoken)
• Proven track record in managing product data and supporting cross-functional teams

• Experience with PLM/PIM systems is a plus
