Kindred of Ireland is a modern heritage clothing brand rooted in the beauty of Irish linen. We design and make timeless, high-quality womenswear using natural fabrics and local craftsmanship. Every piece is created with intention, working with a skilled team of seamstresses, a trusted local factory, and our in-house studio.
We're looking for a proactive and organised
Production & Inventory Coordinator
to help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.
About the Role
As our Production & Inventory Coordinator, you'll be the essential link between our creative, operational, and fulfilment processes -- making sure garments are made on time, materials are where they should be, and stock is in the right place for customers.
From tracking orders to liaising with seamstresses, from raising POs to managing fabric stock, you'll bring structure and clarity to our production process. You'll help manage all orders with care and precision, while supporting our wider operations.
This is a great opportunity for someone who loves keeping things beautifully organised, enjoys a variety of tasks, and thrives in a role where no two days are exactly the same.
Key Responsibilities
Track and manage incoming customer orders, coordinating fulfilment across our studio and production partners
Oversee production workflows -- allocating work, tracking progress, and ensuring deadlines are met
Take the lead on bespoke orders, working closely with our seamstresses to ensure a smooth and accurate process
Maintain accurate inventory of raw materials (fabrics, trims, packaging) and finished garments, across all channels and storage locations
Maintain fabric and trim stock levels, flagging reorders and monitoring usage
Keep production calendars and order trackers up-to-date using tools like Google Sheets and Monday.com
Pack and ship customer orders in-house, ensuring timely and professional delivery
Monitor returns and stock movement, updating inventory records and highlighting any issues
Liaise professionally with internal and external partners, maintaining clear and timely communication
We're Looking for Someone Who:
Brings great energy, initiative, and a problem-solving mindset
Is highly organised with strong attention to detail
Communicates clearly and confidently -- both in person and over email
Is comfortable juggling multiple tasks and timelines
Loves a well-kept spreadsheet and thrives on building systems
Has some experience in production, fashion, or a fast-paced operations environment (helpful, but not essential)
Has an appreciation for craftsmanship, slower fashion, and natural fabrics
The Offer
4-day working week (32 hours), with some flexibility in hours and hybrid working
28,000 annual salary (pro rata)
A creative, values-led team environment where your input matters
The chance to help shape the systems and processes of a fast-growing brand
