Rewards Leader

Position Overview

Quince is seeking a high-impact, analytically driven Rewards Leader to architect, scale, and continuously evolve our global compensation and benefits strategy. This role blends strategic vision with hands-on execution, making it ideal for a leader who thrives at the intersection of data, program design, and business impact. You’ll be responsible for building a best-in-class compensation infrastructure from the ground up, aligning rewards with performance, growth, and long-term value creation.

You will design and drive the development of compensation frameworks that support rapid scaling while maintaining internal equity and market competitiveness. You will build robust models to assess total rewards impact, forecast future equity needs, and measure effectiveness across geographies. By integrating compensation strategy into business planning, you will serve as a critical advisor to business leaders, hiring managers, and recruiters.

This is a role with both strategic scope and operational depth. You’ll build scalable systems, develop clear policies, and drive the operational execution of our equity programs, ensuring repeatability, transparency, and fairness. Your approach will be rooted in data and analytics—leveraging internal and external sources to benchmark, analyze, and optimize our compensation philosophy.

• Leveling & Benchmarking: Drive the development and evolution of our leveling structure and establish benchmarking practices to ensure we are paying appropriately and strategically for top talent.
• Executive & Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a strategic advisor to senior leadership, recruiting, legal, and finance to ensure alignment between compensation strategy and business objectives.
• Scalable Infrastructure & Policy Development: Design the operational backbone of our compensation function, including clear policies, internal systems, and decision-making frameworks that evolve with growth.

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.
