Job Description

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 IDEAL CANDIDATE:

This role reports directly to the Head of Corporate Finance/FP&A and will collaborate closely with the merchandising, planning, production, and procurement teams. The ideal candidate brings at least 2 years of banking experience combined with 2+ years in finance—preferably within an eCommerce or fast-paced, tech-driven environment. They should demonstrate strong analytical capabilities, with expertise in budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling. Proficiency in Excel, financial planning tools, and data visualization software is essential. The candidate will be expected to deliver actionable insights for leadership, manage financial projects, and partner effectively with cross-functional teams. Success in this role requires adaptability, problem-solving skills, and the ability to navigate the challenges of a rapidly scaling business.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Serve as the strategic and FP&A financial partner to Merchandising, Sourcing, Production, and Procurement teams.
  • Develop and maintain strong cross-functional business partnerships, conducting monthly meetings and thoroughly reviewing General Ledger (GL) entries.
  • Build and manage a comprehensive PCOGS/DDP/Tariff financial model to ensure consistent, accurate visibility into financial impacts and provide scenarios to optimize tariff strategies.
  • Continuously model and propose optimal DDP target prices as logistics expenses and tariffs shift over time.
  • Prepare and deliver weekly and monthly PCOGS variance analyses with detailed commentary on key drivers.
  • Enable and execute scenario analysis within the model to support data-driven, strategic decision-making.
  • Prepare and update Monthly Management Business Review (MBR) templates for multiple departments, ensuring alignment with current financial data, performance trends, and targets.
  • Conduct ad hoc scenario analyses to evaluate impacts on margin and bottom-line targets.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to validate assumptions, align on inputs, and ensure accuracy in financial modeling.
  • Present scenario analysis findings with clear, actionable recommendations that optimize financial planning, strategic decisions, and performance outcomes.
  • Provide insights to senior leadership on margin performance, cost drivers, and key business levers affecting profitability.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Bachelor's Degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, or related fields.
  • Master's Degree (MBA) or relevant certifications are an advantage but not a requirement.
  • Experience of 2+ years in investment banking and 2+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or corporate finance, ideally within a retail, consumer goods, or supply chain–driven industry.
  • Proven ability to act as a strategic business partner, working cross-functionally with operational and commercial teams.
  • Strong expertise in financial modeling, scenario analysis, and business case development.
  • Solid understanding of PCOGS, DDP, tariffs, and supply chain financial impacts.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets (complex modeling, sensitivity analysis) and experience with financial planning systems (e.g., Adaptive, Anaplan, Hyperion, NetSuite, etc.).
  • Strong grasp of GAAP, GL review, and accounting/finance fundamentals.
  • Excellent analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex data, identify key insights, and influence decision-making.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with experience preparing and presenting financial insights to senior leadership.
  • Highly detail-oriented with the ability to manage multiple priorities, deadlines, and stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.
  • A proactive, problem-solving mindset with the ability to challenge assumptions and propose innovative solutions.

This role will be in-office 3 days per week.

We rely on market indicators and consider your specific job family, background, skills, and experience to determine your compensation in the market range. Bonus eligibility varies by role and is determined based on the position's impact and contribution to our strategic goals.
