Overseas Manufacturing Analyst

Hi all! We're an activewear brand for women in martial arts out of Vancouver, BC. At Wicked Rose, we're developing high performance, environmentally conscious activewear that helps women in martial arts train comfortably and challenge themselves in a traditionally male dominated sport. We are currently manufacturing our activewear in Langley, BC, but we've come to the tough realization that we can't build a sustainable, scalable business manufacturing here in Canada while keeping our prices within the industry standard for martial artists (we would need to charge $220 for a shirt that usually costs $55-$75). We are on the hunt for an intern to research different overseas manufacturers, ensure that worker safety/a living wage/quality of life is of the utmost importance, and potentially research more environmentally friendly alternatives to the fabric that we're currently using. This position may offer the opportunity to work with the Head of Consumer Products at the Trade Commissioner's Service, who will be helping us screen potential manufacturers in Pakistan and Thailand. We are looking for someone who is interested in learning more about the apparel space, manufacturing and logistics, and fabric makeup and sourcing.
