JOB OVERVIEW

About Rec Lounge
Rec Lounge is a lifestyle brand operating in the licensed merchandise space. We design and produce clothing and accessories that connect fans to the brands, teams, and institutions they love.
The Role
We're looking for a detail-oriented Virtual Assistant to support the product development process for licensed apparel and accessories. You'll work closely with the founder to keep development moving — managing timelines, coordinating with vendors, organizing product information, and handling the day-to-day communication that keeps projects on track.
What You'll Do

Maintain and update product development calendars, tracking key milestones and deadlines
Organize and manage tech packs, BOMs, sample photos, and approval documentation
Communicate with manufacturers and suppliers on behalf of the team — following up on samples, quotes, and production timelines
Prepare and submit product approval packages to licensing partners, ensuring assets and artwork meet compliance guidelines
Track costs, pricing, and margin data in spreadsheets
Research and compile vendor options, blank goods sources, and material alternatives as needed
Manage email correspondence and follow-ups related to product development
Keep shared drives and project management tools organized and up to date

What We're Looking For

1–3 years of experience as a VA, product coordinator, or similar support role — experience in apparel, e-commerce, or merchandise is a strong plus
Highly organized with sharp attention to detail
Strong written English communication skills
Comfortable working in Google Workspace, Excel/Sheets, and project management tools (Asana, Trello, Notion, or similar)
Reliable internet connection and ability to overlap with US business hours (Mountain Time) for at least 3–4 hours daily
Self-starter who can take a task and run with it without heavy oversight
Familiarity with licensing processes or garment production is a bonus, not a requirement

SKILL REQUIREMENT
Product Analysis Product Optimization Product Sourcing
