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.
If you’re someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.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
Staff UX Designer
We’re looking for a Staff UX Designer to play a key role in shaping the next phase of Quince’s digital product experience.
This is a senior, hands-on IC role for a designer who can lead complex initiatives from strategy through execution, establish strong UX direction, and raise the quality of product design across the team. You’ll thrive here if you’re energized by a fast-moving startup environment, comfortable navigating ambiguity, and able to balance customer needs, business goals, data, and strong product judgment.
A key focus of this role will be helping Quince build with an app-first mentality. You’ll bring deep experience designing native mobile experiences and help us think beyond translating web experiences to smaller screens—identifying opportunities to make our app more intuitive, engaging, and distinctly valuable to customers.
You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, Analytics, and Brand to shape experiences across iOS, Android, and web, spanning the full e-commerce journey from discovery and PDPs to checkout, order management, and post-purchase.
This role will be reporting to our Design Director.
*Please include portfolio/samples of work to be considered.
