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. We believe everyone deserves exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design without the traditional markups. Quince is a direct-to-consumer (DTC) model that cuts out middlemen and leverages just-in-time manufacturing to minimize waste and maximize value.

Quince is a tech company disrupting the retail industry by putting AI, analytics and automation at the center of everything we do. Our unwavering commitment to excellence and company values guide our teams and actions:

Customer First: We prioritize customer satisfaction in every decision.
High Quality: True quality means premium materials and rigorous production standards you can feel good about.
Essential Design: We focus on timeless, functional essentials instead of chasing trends.
Always a Better Deal: Innovation and transparency ensure value for both customers and partners.
Social & Environmental Responsibility: We commit to sustainable materials, ethical production, and fair wages.

Quince partners with world-class manufacturers across the globe and serves millions of customers. With strong investor backing and a focus on sustainable growth, we are a company that is rapidly scaling while maintaining a commitment to quality, simplicity, and radical price transparency.

OUR TEAM AND SUCCESS

At Quince, you will be part of a high-performing team that is redefining what quality, value, and sustainability mean in modern retail. We are a destination for builders, innovators, and operators to come together and challenge the status quo. Our collective ambition is bold. We are creating an entirely new category and customer experience – one that democratizes luxury and provides high quality products at radically low prices. That mission demands a world-class team committed to excellence.

If you are motivated by impact, growth, and purpose, you will find a strong sense of belonging at Quince.

THE ROLE

Compensation Intelligence Lead

Quince is hiring its first Compensation Intelligence Lead to join the Global Rewards team. This is a foundational, technical build role: you will design and construct the data systems, automated pipelines, and AI-powered tooling that power how Quince thinks about compensation — from offer to equity refresh to market benchmarking.

This role is for someone who leads with data and engineering instinct. You are energized by building from scratch, comfortable working across systems, and sharp enough to surface intelligence from complex datasets. Comp expertise is a plus — but curiosity about how compensation works and why it matters will take you far here. You will report to the Head of Global Rewards and partner closely with Talent, Finance, and Legal.

This role sits within Total Rewards and will develop broad exposure to the full portfolio — including benefits and wellness programs — over time. Success looks like: a live compensation data environment that integrates all of Quince’s people systems, an automated benchmarking process that surfaces market trends in real time, and infrastructure that scales with the company’s global growth.

Responsibilities

Architect and build custom tooling that integrates Rippling, Greenhouse, Pave, and Radford into a unified, live data environment
Design and deploy Quince’s automated benchmarking and comp structure process, including real-time market data scraping, monitoring pipelines, and trend surfacing
Build and maintain AI-powered workflows that automate manual compensation processes and surface actionable intelligence to stakeholders
Support the annual compensation review cycle, including data modeling, system administration, and manager-facing deliverables
Own the monthly equity grant approval motion, partnering with Finance and Legal to execute on time and in compliance
Collaborate with the Talent team to scope, build, or implement an agentic offer evaluation tool that surfaces comp recommendations in real time
Analyze compensation data across all employee types and geographies to identify trends, surface anomalies, and inform decisions
Develop familiarity with Quince’s broader Total Rewards portfolio — including benefits and wellness programs — to support holistic comp philosophy and employee-facing communications
Partner with the Head of Global Rewards on global comp strategy, job architecture, and leveling

Qualifications

Required:

Demonstrated experience actively building with AI tools — not just using AI-powered products, but prompting, scripting, or constructing workflows with LLMs or AI APIs
Experience in compensation, total rewards, or people analytics — or a demonstrated curiosity about how compensation works and a track record of picking up new domains quickly
Strong proficiency in data tools and scripting (Python, SQL, or similar) to build automated pipelines, custom integrations, and analytical tooling
Proven ability to work with large, complex datasets and translate findings into clear, actionable outputs for non-technical stakeholders
Experience working with HRIS, ATS, or people systems (e.g., Rippling, Greenhouse, Pave, Radford, or equivalents)
Comfort operating in ambiguity and building processes where few or none exist
Clear communication skills; able to make complex data legible to business partners across Finance, Legal, and People

Preferred:

Familiarity with global compensation frameworks and multi-geography pay structures
Experience with equity compensation administration, including grant approval workflows
Background in data engineering, BI tooling, or building internal dashboards
Prior experience in a high-growth technology or e-commerce company
Experience scoping or implementing agentic AI workflows in an HR or People context

All posted ranges are reflective of base salary and may vary depending upon experience level and location. Bonus and equity may also be provided for eligible roles.

Pay Range

$180,000—$220,000 USD
