ABOUT QUINCE 

Founded in 2018, Quince was built to challenge the idea that nice things have to cost a lot. Our mission is simple: to make really high quality essentials for really low prices, produced fairly and sustainably.

• Follow up with vendors when orders are late, stuck, or have incomplete communication
• Work with vendors to improve data reliability and adherence to SLAs
• Serve as a point of escalation when delivery partners are misaligned or underperforming
• Partner cross-functionally with category managers, logistics, and customer experience teams
• Document and continuously improve processes for transparency and scale

• Exceptional attention to detail and follow-through
• Strong Excel/Google Sheets skills; experience with supply chain tracking tools a plus
