WHY JOIN ALO?

Mindful movement. It's at the core of why we do what we do at ALO-it's our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better. That's the real meaning of studio-to-street: taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life.

  • Innovation & Product Integrity:
    Drive innovation in product construction, materials, and manufacturing techniques to deliver industry-leading performance and aesthetics.
  • Calendar & Process Ownership:
    Own and optimize the seasonal product development calendar; streamline workflows and implement tools and processes that drive efficiency and scalability.
  • Vendor Management & Global Sourcing:
    Collaborate with the Sourcing team on vendor allocation and performance, ensuring the right balance of cost, quality, capacity, and capability across the supply chain.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making:
    Use KPIs and performance metrics (e.g., IMU, fit approval rate, sample execution, vendor scorecards) to guide decisions, improve processes, and inform future planning.
  • Technology Enablement:
    Champion the adoption and optimization of tools such as PLM, Adobe Suite, and other systems that improve transparency, collaboration, and execution.
  • Cross-Departmental Influence:
    Act as a key voice in cross-functional leadership meetings, contributing to long-term product strategy and roadmap development.
