United Search is looking for passionate and experienced professionals in industrialisation and methods to join the Industrial, Innovation & Savoir-Faire Division of Polène, a fast-growing Parisian House rooted in craftsmanship and creative elegance.
Our client:
Polène is a French leather goods brand founded in 2016 by three siblings, united by a love of timeless design and refined craftsmanship.
Each piece is inspired by natural, sculptural forms and brought to life by artisans in Ubrique, Spain — a town known for its leatherworking heritage.
Using premium leathers from certified tanneries, Polène combines tradition and modernity in every handmade creation, offering pieces that are both elegant and enduring.
Mission & Responsibilities:
As Industrialisation & Methods Engineer your mission is to ensure the successful industrialisation of products and continuously improve production processes for Polène’s leather goods collections.
1. Coordinate the industrialisation of new products:
* Organise and oversee the industrialisation process by assessing risks, validating production steps, launching tools, and following the production schedule from the start of industrialisation to full production and scaling.
* Work closely with design teams, pattern makers, internal production, and subcontractors to ensure everything runs smoothly.
* Ensure timelines and cost targets are met.
* Validate costings and suggest technical improvements to reduce manufacturing time and increase product quality.
* Create and deploy manufacturing documentation (work instructions, best practices).
* Ensure compliance with quality procedures and technical standards.
* Audit current manufacturing processes to ensure repeatability and consistent quality.
* Act as the liaison for quality teams to address non-conformities and client issues.
* Drive corrective action plans to ensure alignment of product quality, process efficiency, and standards compliance.
* Propose product/process improvements aimed at increasing efficiency and profitability.
Requirements:
* Engineering background with experience in an industrial and production-driven environment.
* Proven experience (ideally 3+ years) in industrial product development, methods, Lean manufacturing or industrialisation within a similar environment.
* Excellent organisational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities.
* Strong interpersonal skills and ability to collaborate with diverse teams.
* Experience in project management and continuous improvement.
* Knowledge of leather materials and leather goods manufacturing processes would be a plus.
* Fluent in both Spanish and English; French is a plus.
