Brand Protection Solution Architect – Fashion & Apparel

About the role We are seeking a strategic Brand Protection Solution Architect to oversee and connect the end-to-end deployment of an innovative, phygital (physical + digital) brand protection product designed specifically for the fashion, luxury, and apparel industry. In this role, you will bridge the gap between physical garment manufacturing (care labels, smart trims, RFID/NFC embedding, packaging) and digital intelligence (cloud serialization platforms, Digital Product Passports, authentication APIs). Beyond shielding brands from counterfeiting, diverted goods, and grey-market leakage, this role touches circular economy initiatives, enabling garment lifecycle tracking, re-commerce authentication, repair history, and regulatory compliance. You will act as the operational engine, bringing structure to ambiguity, driving cross-functional alignment, and executing directly with enterprise apparel brands and global manufacturing partners. Key Responsibilities This role offers a hybrid work arrangement with travel to client sites, partner facilities, or manufacturing locations as needed for initial integrations, training, and Go-Live rollouts. Define, structure, and execute the complete operational blueprint for onboarding and deploying our brand protection product across client ecosystems. Translate complex technical innovations (e.g., serialization, track-and-trace, anti-counterfeiting tech, authentication platforms) into clear, repeatable operational processes. Identify systemic bottlenecks early and design scalable standards, playbooks, and systems that enable rapid client onboarding without sacrificing quality. Bridge internal silos by identifying and collaborating with key technical and business owners to translate multi-departmental requirements into unified execution roadmaps and go-to-market goals. Provide on-site deployment support at client sites, partner facilities, or manufacturing locations to oversee integrations, conduct training, and ensure smooth rollo
