I would establish forecast accuracy and bias metrics by hierarchy, use weekly exception management to focus on material variances, and continuously refine the model as new demand signals emerge. Describe how you would balance in-stock performance against inventory turns and working-capital constraints. I would segment products by demand variability, margin, strategic importance, lead time, and supply risk, then set differentiated service-level and safety-stock targets. I would evaluate decisions through a total-value lens that considers lost sales, markdown risk, carrying cost, and vendor constraints rather than optimizing a single KPI in isolation. Tell us about a time you used root-cause analysis to improve a planning KPI. In a prior planning environment, I would investigate forecast errors by separating demand-signal issues from availability, data quality, lead-time, and allocation problems. After identifying the largest drivers, I would implement targeted changes such as stockout correction, revised seasonality logic, and supplier lead-time updates, then monitor the KPI impact through a recurring performance review. How would you partner with technology teams to turn a planning prototype into a scalable forecasting solution? I would begin by defining the business decision, users, inputs, output cadence, success metrics, and exception workflows. I would validate a prototype with planners, document data definitions and edge cases, prioritize automation based on business value, and use phased releases with monitoring for accuracy, adoption, and operational reliability. How do you communicate a complex inventory recommendation to executives and external vendors? I tailor the message to the audience and lead with the decision required, expected commercial impact, key risks, and recommended action. I use concise visuals and scenario comparisons for executives, while providing vendors with clear volume assumptions, timing, commitments, and escalation paths so both parties can act quickly and confidently. Opportunity details ## About this role. 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.

Success in this position means working within and building best-in-class forecasting systems that balance product availability with working capital efficiency while supporting Quince’s mission to deliver luxury quality at radically low prices. As a part of the Planning team, this person will play a critical role in shaping future Planning processes at Quince, helping to architect the solutions and capabilities of tomorrow to support our rapid growth.

Qualifications Required: * Looking for candidates at the Sr. Manager level or above – Director-level preferred. * Minimum of 10 years of experience in inventory planning, merchandising, or related analytics/technology roles. * Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or Master’s in Supply Chain Management preferred. * Strong analytical skills, with proficiency in advanced Excel statistical functions. * Fluency with Google Suite and comfort working with large data sets. * Experience prototyping inventory optimization techniques and converting insights into scalable technology. * Ability to collaborate effectively with internal and external partners to maximize opportunities and minimize risks. * Strong commitment to continuous improvement and operational excellence. * Proven ability to find, organize, and use data to draw actionable conclusions with minimal assumptions. * Comfort working in a fast-paced, rapidly evolving environment where established processes may not yet exist. Preferred: * Insatiable curiosity and a desire to uncover insights that drive results. * Willingness to form and share informed points of view with peers and executives. * Ability to pivot quickly and thrive in a dynamic, startup-like environment. * Commitment to building scalable processes and industry-leading technology. * Exceptional presentation and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex data into clear recommendations. * Strong understanding of how forecasting impacts company priorities, objectives, and financial performance. * Bias toward leveraging technology for operational improvement.
