Sample Coordinator at Lola Blankets (Utah)

Lola Blankets· Utah·

Job description

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.

What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary and annual bonus based on company and individual performance
  • 12 days paid vacation
  • Full health benefits (health, dental, vision, mental)
  • 16 weeks paid birth parent leave; 8 weeks non-birth parent leave
  • 55% off Lola Blankets for friends and family
  • Opportunities for career growth within Lola Blankets

Why work at Lola Blankets

  • High-Growth Environment: A genuinely fast-growing company (headcount up 200% YoY) that offers massive "ride the rocket" experience. This translates to great opportunities for career growth and taking on significant responsibility early.
  • Strong Culture & Values: They explicitly list their values as "Dream Big," "Commit to Excellence," and "Have Fun." Employees consistently cite working with "obsessive attention to detail" in a creative, supportive atmosphere.
  • Robust Benefits & Perks: Offers a strong package for a fast-growing startup: 21 PTO days + Federal holidays, full health benefits, a 401(k) plan, 16 weeks of paid parental leave for birth parents (and 8 weeks for non-birth parents), a "Lola Summer vacation" perk, and 50% off Lola Blankets for friends and family.
  • Remote & Hybrid Flexibility: Roles are a mix of Remote, New York, and Utah-based. They support flexible work arrangements.
  • Mission-Driven Work: The opportunity to work for a brand with a core "give back" mission (Huntsman) makes the work feel meaningful beyond the product.
