Sample Coordinator
About the Role
As Sample Coordinator, you're the first person to touch what Lola makes next. Samples arrive from our manufacturing partners every week - new fabrics, lab dips, prototypes, pre-production units - and you'll own the system that keeps them organized, tracked, and ready for review. When the Director of Sourcing & Product Development needs the third lab dip of a colorway from two rounds ago, you know exactly where it is.
This is an entry point into product development at a fast-growing brand. You'll sit close to sourcing decisions, fabric evaluation, and the full product lifecycle, and you'll learn how a physical product goes from idea to bestseller. This is a hybrid role requiring 3 days per week at our office in Lehi, UT.
What You'll Do
Receive, unpack, and log incoming samples from vendors and manufacturing partners
Build and maintain the sample library: tagging, labeling, photographing, and shelving every sample so it's easy to find
Track sample status across development rounds and flag what's arrived, what's late, and what's next
Prepare samples for review meetings, fittings, and quality evaluations
Ship samples to partners, photographers, and team members as needed
Keep the sample room tidy, organized, and ready for visitors
Support the product team with ad hoc projects as we grow
Who You Are
A recent graduate or someone with up to a year of professional experience - retail, operations, merchandising, or product internships all count
Organized to your core. You like systems, labels, and knowing where things are
Detail-oriented and reliable. Small errors in tracking create big problems downstream, and you catch them first
A Lola fan. You know the product, you love the product, and you want to help make it
Comfortable with spreadsheets and quick to pick up new tools
Able to work on-site in Utah and lift boxes of blankets (they're soft, but they add up)
Why Lola
You'll join a product team at the center of a brand people are obsessed with, learn sourcing and product development from the ground up, and have a real hand in what Lola makes next. Plus, you'll be surrounded by the world's softest blankets. Every day.
