Material Manager

We are looking for a Material Manager to reinforce our production team. As a material manager you will be responsible for managing inventory and purchasing procedures of materials and fabrics for our products. You will work in collaboration with our production team to ensure that our fabrics and materials are meeting the highest standard possible and are produced in a sustainable way. You will oversee and manage these procedures from start to finish to make sure everything is running smoothly.
We are a company in constant change and we are always pushing the limits to create awesome products. So if you like working in a fast paced and always changing environment, this is the job for you.
You will be based from our production office in Gothenburg.
Who are we?
Ridestore was founded over 10 years ago. We had a passion to create products and brands that people truly wanted. The era where brands told people what they should wear or do is dead. Everyone's an expert. The customer knows what they like and what they want to wear much better than the designer.
So our job is to listen. A brand in this new era is there to serve and empower The customer. The expert. If you do that well then your brand will spread from one person to another, peer to peer. This changes everything in how you design products and create a brand. You have to truly listen to the customers, you have to give them a voice and empower them.
We get things done. That has taken us close to half a billion sek in revenue and 100% year on year organic growth. We want to own the outerwear conversation online. Our brands Dope Snow & Montecwear are the first brands created from listening to what The Customer wants.
