ABOUT QUINCE

Quince is a destination for builders, creators, innovators, and operators who want to come together and challenge the status quo. Our mission is simple: make really high quality essentials for really low prices, fairly and sustainably. We deliver on that mission through a unique manufacturer-to-consumer (M2C) model eliminating the layers of traditional retail that add cost and result in consumers paying more than they need to. We find, build relationships with, and work directly with the manufacturing partners behind some of the world’s finest products. From there, our teams design smart, efficient operational processes  and build and deploy proprietary technology, AI, and analytics to help us scale fast.

What began with a small assortment of elevated basics has quickly grown into a cross-category brand spanning apparel, accessories, home goods, and more. Today, tens of millions of people across a growing number of countries come – and return – to Quince because they trust us to deliver.

OUR CULTURE

Quince is a culture built for builders by builders. Our way of working starts with a blank sheet of paper. We question conventional thinking, use technology and data to uncover new opportunities, and move quickly to turn ideas into reality. We aren’t interested in replicating how others do retail. We’re building a better way – at a speed and scale unlike anything that’s been done before.

  • We dream big and chase the hard problems others shy away from. Rejecting long-held assumptions is part of our company's DNA.  Where conventional wisdom says you have to choose – soft or durable, speed or rigor, quality or price – we ask why that trade-off has to exist in the first place.
  • Our pace is fast and the bar is high because our customers expect a lot from us and we refuse to let them down. We believe the best results come from challenging ourselves, learning from one another, and building on each other's strengths. 
  • Here, responsibility is not determined by role, tenure, or seniority. Every team member - no matter their level - has the opportunity to drive our business and shape our trajectory. 

If you’re someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.

THE ROLE

Identify, onboard, and develop denim-focused manufacturing partners aligned with Quince’s direct-to-consumer (D2C) model. Coach partners to operate within a rapid replenishment, Manufacturer-to-Consumer (M2C) environment, emphasizing speed, flexibility, and quality.

Educate sourcing partners on the Quince Operating System (OS), including:

  • Financial Impact: Deliver margin-accretive sourcing outcomes

Partner closely with Merchandising and Product Development (PD) teams to lead denim catalog expansion, launching new washes, fits, styles, and fabric innovations through the New Product Creation (NPC) process.

Conduct structured Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) with sourcing partners, focusing on strategic alignment, denim category performance, operational excellence, continuous improvement opportunities, and future growth plans.

Qualifications

  • 15+ years of experience at the Director level or above in Strategic Sourcing, Procurement, or Supplier Management within the apparel industry, preferably supporting major US-based retailers or DTC brands, with strong exposure to denim categories.

  • Established global factory network across key apparel categories (with strong emphasis on denim, woven, knit, and sweater knit fabrications), spanning APAC, ISC, and EMEA regions.

  • Strong product-driven mindset, leveraging factory and vendor expertise to support product design, cost engineering, and commercialization. Deep knowledge of denim materials, washes, and localized fabric sourcing within key regions is highly preferred.

  • General Manager (GM) mindset with hands-on supply chain and manufacturing experience, including lean manufacturing, just-in-time (JIT) production, and operational excellence.

  • Deep understanding of cost structures within denim/apparel categories, with proven ability to drive cost savings through clean-sheet costing, strategic negotiations, and supplier optimization.

  • Highly organized, analytical, and execution-focused, with strong problem-solving skills and a continuous improvement mindset.

  • Curious, adaptable, and proactive in navigating ambiguity and change; open to new perspectives and ways of working.

  • Strong business acumen with an interest in leveraging technology and AI-enabled tools to enhance sourcing efficiency and decision-making.
