About Heidi Klein
Established in 2002 by Heidi Gosman and Penny Klein, Heidi Klein has evolved from a single Notting Hill boutique into the UK’s premier luxury swimwear and resortwear brand. Acclaimed for our impeccable fit, premium fabrics, and effortlessly chic, hand-designed prints, we provide women with an elegant, supportive, and confidence-boosting travel wardrobe. Our collections are stocked globally via luxury platforms such as Harrods and Selfridges, alongside our flagship London stores. As we continue to expand our global wholesale and e-commerce platforms, we are looking for a meticulous and proactive Production Coordinator to join our product team.
Role Purpose
The Production Coordinator will plan the end-to-end scheduling and critical path management for our luxury swim and resortwear collections. You will work collaboratively with Design, Garment Technology, Finance, and our global manufacturing partners to ensure fabric, trim, and finished garments are delivered on time, within budget, and to our exacting luxury standards.
