The job, in the employer's words

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If you’re someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.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

Cashmere Lab Testing & Quality Leader

Responsibilities:

  • Lead the testing and quality assurance of cashmere raw materials and finished products.
  • Establish and maintain testing standards for composition, fiber length, fineness, and color consistency.

  • Collaborate with suppliers, brands, and third-party testing institutions (e.g., SGS, BV, TUV, UL).
  • Build and manage QA/QC teams, train staff, and implement standardized testing procedures.
  • Provide technical reports and data analysis to support procurement, production, and R&D decisions.
  • Drive continuous improvement in testing methods, including micro-analysis and advanced fiber testing technologies.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree or above in Textile Engineering, Material Science, or related fields.
  • Proven experience in cashmere or wool fiber testing, with strong knowledge of raw material analysis.
  • Background in either brand-side QA/QC or third-party testing institutions is highly welcomed.
  • Familiarity with international and domestic testing methods (composition, length, color, oil content for down/feather).
  • Strong leadership and team management skills, able to supervise multi-functional teams.
  • Excellent communication and coordination abilities across suppliers, factories, and internal stakeholders.
  • Analytical mindset, detail-oriented, and proactive in problem-solving.

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Competitive salary package with performance bonus.
  • International working environment with exposure to global cashmere supply chain.
