Apparel Project Coordinator
Summary
UNRL, a performance apparel brand, is hiring a full-time contract (4–6 months) Apparel Project Coordinator in Saint Paul to manage locally decorated apparel projects from concept to delivery — approving strike-offs, monitoring timelines and budgets, and coordinating between Sales, Design, and third-party decorators using Monday.com and Adobe Creative Suite.
At UNRL, we’re redefining what performance wear means. We
create premium apparel that blurs the line between work, sport, and everyday
life — built for those who demand more. Our team is driven by innovation,
craftsmanship, and authenticity. We’re looking for people who share our belief

to look good, feel confident, and perform their best — every day.
Job Overview
The Apparel Project Coordinator manages the production and
delivery of UNRL's locally decorated apparel — overseeing every project from
concept through final delivery. Because the base product is already
manufactured and held in our warehouse, this role focuses on moving decoration
artwork through production with third-party decorators, ensuring accurate
execution at every step.
The coordinator reviews and approves strike-offs, monitors
project timelines and budgets, and resolve any defects or quality issues in
partnership with suppliers and manufacturers — keeping every custom apparel
project on brand, on schedule, and to standard.
This role is a full-time (40 hours per week) contract
position for approximately 4-6 months.
