OUR STORYQuince was started to challenge the existing idea that nice things should cost a lot. Our mission was simple: create an item of equal or greater quality than the leading luxury brands and sell them at a much lower price.
OUR VALUESEVERYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD NICE THINGS. Quality shouldn’t be a luxury. We’re proud of our mission to bring the world’s highest quality goods to people at affordable prices.
QUALITY IS MORE THAN MATERIALS. True quality is a combination of premium materials and high production standards.
WE FOCUS ON THE ESSENTIALS. From the perfect crewneck sweater to hotel quality sheets, we're all about high quality essentials that bring enjoyment to daily life.
WE’RE INNOVATING TO MAKE UNREAL PRICES A REALITY. Our uniquely developed factory-direct model lets us offer exceptionally high quality goods for much lower prices than our competitors.
ALWAYS A BETTER DEAL. We believe in real price transparency, for both our customers and factory partners. This way, everyone gets a better deal.
FAIR FACTORIES. We are committed to working with factories that meet the global standards for workplace safety and wage fairness.
OUR TEAM AND SUCCESSQuince is a retail and technology company co-founded by a team that has extensive experience in retail, technology and building early stage companies. You’ll work with a team of world-class talent from Stanford GSB, Wish.com, D.E. Shaw, Stitch Fix, Urban Outfitters, Wayfair, McKinsey, Nike etc.
THE IDEAL CANDIDATEThe ideal candidate is a self-starter, problem-solver and successful in combining technology and data into best-in-class outcomes. The candidate is energized by solving complex business problems and consistently effective in making high-judgment decisions at rapid pace amidst the frequent ambiguity that comes with charting a course of action with no precedent. Moreover, the ideal candidate is energized by an environment where strategy, innovation and decision-making are intentionally distributed, where candor, speed and data are highly valued and colleagues at all levels hold each other to unusually high standards on behalf of Quince customers.
We are seeking a dynamic and experienced individual to lead our growing customer service operations and workforce as the Director, Support Operations. The ideal candidate is a top-tier business operator, with a strong analytical toolkit, the ability to solve complex problems from first principles, and a deeply-rooted bias for action. They will be adept at working with senior, cross-functional partners to drive substantial, ongoing improvement in our business. They will be energized to help build a category-defining company in a still-evolving space. And they will be able to work mostly autonomously in the relentless pursuit of their goals.

  • Partner with Quince Finance to accurately forecast our customer service needs on a rolling 8-week basis
  • Build a staffing solution that matches our forecasted ticket arrival patterns to our workforce schedule

  • Surface and resolve gaps in team productivity, including shrinkage, utilization, and occupancy misses
  • Lead our real-time analytics team, managing and monitoring our support operation 24/7/365
  • Partner with team and company-level stakeholders to ensure we hit the business inputs needed to achieve our annual cost plan
  • Build a scalable service model that can flex to accommodate the seasonal ramp in our business
  • Experiment with novel service models to deliver luxury levels of personalization and care at scalable levels of efficiency

Qualifications

  • You have both leadership experience within a top-tier CX organization as well as demonstrated success as a business generalist
  • You have a sharp analytical toolkit, and are able to frame problems, gather data, and run basic, accurate analysis, independently
  • You have an ability to solve complex operating problems from first principles, typically getting deep into data and/ or the physical world to find root causes
  • You are an owner; someone who is relentless in the pursuit of their goals
  • You are comfortable working as an individual contributor, and are able to go from creating a strategy at 30,000 ft to implementing it on the ground at 3 ft
  • You have a track record of partnering across large, complex organizations to achieve your objectives
  • You have an innate bias to action, moving quickly to do today what could be put off until tomorrow
  • You iterate, working to improve 1% everyday
  • You’re an excellent verbal and written communicator, able to share complex updates and learnings succinctly and quickly
  • You have strong knowledge of existing workforce technology solutions including NICE, Verint, Playvox or other
  • You have partnered and staffed with top-tier global customer service BPOs

About Quince

Learn more about Quince and their company culture.

View company profile

Quince started when we brought our work home. We built careers working for high-end brands, but investing in luxury clothing, jewelry and home goods for ourselves was a rare treat. So, we built our own brand—committed to making exceptionally high-quality essentials at a price within reach. Because everyone deserves to fill their life with the finer things.

OUR VALUES

  • QUALITY: Quality shouldn’t be a luxury. We choose premium materials and designs that stand the test of time. Our products feel nicer and last longer, on purpose.

  • SUSTAINABILITY: Sustainability is built into everything we do. Whenever possible, we choose organic materials, environmentally conscientious packaging and ethical business practices.

  • AFFORDABILITY: Everyone should have access to nice things. We keep prices low by using a factory-direct model that cuts out the supply-chain middlemen and reduces costs.

A Vision For Sustainability, Accountability, Transparency & Amazing Value.

Affordable products shouldn't come at the cost of worker exploitation. We only partner with factories who meet or exceed global guidelines for workplace safety and equitable wages.

The difference is clear

We value transparency. We’re open and honest about the materials in our products, how they’re manufactured and how they’re priced. Honesty is always our policy.

We started Quince to challenge the existing idea that nice things have to cost a lot. Our mission was simple—create products of equal or greater quality than the leading luxury brands at a much lower price. Because we believe quality should never be a luxury.

How we keep prices low

We never cut corners when it comes to quality, sustainability or fair manufacturing practices. Our prices stay low because we avoid the expenses of the traditional supply chain, including sourcing agents, warehousing, wholesaling, distribution and storefront retail.
