Demand remains steady due to the city's status as a fashion hub, but success often depends on strong organizational skills, Excel proficiency, and experience managing brand collaborations within fast-paced environments.

In New York, familiarity with digital asset management tools and regulatory knowledge relevant to apparel and beauty brands often gives candidates a distinct advantage.
Besides managing sample logistics, anticipate coordinating cross-functional teams, maintaining meticulous records for multiple brands, and handling invoicing for marketing assets. The role demands adaptability to shifting priorities and a keen eye for detail in communications with internal and external partners.
