Sr. Procurement Manager Equity

This is a high-impact senior individual contributor / manager role at a fast-growing direct-to-consumer brand. The compensation range of $164K–$240K base (plus bonus and equity) is competitive for a Senior Procurement Manager in US consumer goods — market rates for comparable roles typically sit between $140K–$200K, so the top end of this range is above market, reflecting Quince's growth-stage urgency.

• Exposure to AI-driven procurement tooling (building an AI RFP agent for 2026) positions you at the intersection of supply chain and emerging tech — a highly marketable skill set.
• Deep clean-sheet costing and upstream verticalization experience translates directly to VP/Director-level roles at larger retailers or CPG companies.
• The scope — from commodity strategy to market-making in cashmere and silk — is unusually broad for a single role, offering accelerated career learning.

Culture signals: Quince presents as a high-velocity startup ("fast pace," "blank sheet of paper," "scale fast"). The 700 bps cost reduction target within 12 months signals high performance expectations. Responsibility is explicitly decoupled from seniority, which is a green flag for ambitious professionals but may also mean stretching beyond traditional job boundaries.

Potential red flags: The role combines strategic planning, hands‑on negotiation, AI development, and supply chain transformation — an extremely wide remit that could indicate under‑resourcing. Candidates should clarify team size and support structure during interviews.

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.
