OUR STORY

Quince 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 VALUES

• Customer First: Customer satisfaction is our highest priority.
• High Quality: True quality is a combination of premium materials and high production standards that everyone can feel good about.
• Essential Design: We don’t chase trends, and we don’t sell everything. We’re expert curators that find the very best and bring it to you at the lowest prices.
• Always a Better Deal: Through innovation and real price transparency, we want to offer the best deal to both our customers and our factory partners.
• Environmentally and Socially Conscious: We’re committed to sustainable materials and sustainable production methods. That means a cleaner environment and fair wages for factory workers.

OUR TEAM AND SUCCESS

Quince 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, Google, D.E. Shaw, Stitch Fix, Urban Outfitters, Wayfair, McKinsey, Nike, etc.

The Merchandising Manager, Fragrance & Home Care role is responsible for delighting Quince’s growing customer base by expanding the Fragrance product assortment and launching and managing Home Care on Quince.

At Quince, we believe that everyone deserves access to high-quality products at radically affordable prices. We believe the marketplace for consumer products is inundated with too many options, and customers find product quality difficult to determine and yet frequently pay more for a variety of things that can be delivered at much lower prices. Our goal is to find the best products in the marketplace and connect the makers of these goods directly to the customers who want them. Quince has proven the consumer value proposition in the apparel and accessories categories and has built a loyal, repeat consumer base. We want to build on that value proposition and continue to scale the Fragrance category in both existing and new product classes.
