Location: Remote, Travel to suppliers in the UK, EU, India and Vietnam

At Swoon, we create design-led furniture that people fall in love with — and keep for life. Since 2012, we've grown into one of the UK's most distinctive online-only furniture brands, designing every piece in-house and spotting the next big trend before anyone else.

Our secret? A digital-first, data-driven approach that gets products to market fast, keeps prices fair, and delivers a better shopping experience than any store. We partner with leading retailers like John Lewis, and our growth is powered by a scalable business model that's just getting started.

Join us now and you'll be part of a small, ambitious team making a big impact, shaping a brand loved by customers across the UK and beyond.

We make products all over the world, and our promise to customers is simple: deliver them beautifully made, perfectly finished, and on time. Achieving that isn't easy; it takes focus, precision, and relentless drive for improvement.

You'll join us as our Manager Global Manufacturing, leading all production operations across the UK, Europe, and India (Jaipur & Jodhpur). You'll manage our internal QC team of four in India, build high-performing supplier relationships, and make sure every product leaves the factory floor on time, in full, and to the highest standards.

This role is hands-on, travel-heavy, and highly impactful, a chance to play a strategic and operational leadership role in a fast-scaling, design-led brand.

You'll be the driving force behind our global manufacturing — making sure every piece we design leaves the factory floor on time, in perfect condition, and ready to delight our customers. Here's how you'll make it happen:

• Lead global manufacturing: Manage all Swoon production partners across the UK, EU, Jaipur, and Jodhpur.
• Inspire & manage teams: Lead and develop our internal production and QC teams, ensuring consistent quality standards.
• Champion quality: Set the bar high, align QC processes with partners, and ensure every product meets our exacting standards.
• Be the on-the-ground leader: Travel to factories, solve production challenges in real time, and strengthen relationships with our makers.
• Build powerful partnerships: Lead regular supplier reviews that drive performance, innovation, and continuous improvement.
• Keep us compliant: Own product compliance processes, ensuring documentation is watertight and standards are never compromised.
• Shape the future: Support our design team in developing and prototyping new products, bringing your operational insight to every stage.
• Tell the story: Report manufacturing performance, celebrate wins, and escalate challenges quickly with clear, actionable recommendations.
