Quince is seeking a Cashmere Lab Testing & Quality Leader to own laboratory testing and quality assurance for cashmere raw materials and finished goods. The role establishes standards for composition, fiber length, fineness, and color consistency while ensuring alignment with GB, ISO, and ASTM requirements. It leads laboratory and QA/QC teams, coordinates with suppliers, factories, brands, and external institutions such as SGS, BV, TUV, and UL, and provides technical analysis for procurement, production, and R&D. This is a senior textile-quality leadership position requiring deep cashmere or wool fiber-testing expertise, strong process discipline, and cross-functional communication. The remote location is explicitly limited to Italy. ## Role DNA A quick view of the complexity, pace, ownership and collaboration implied by the job description. ### Job Complexity 5/5EasyHard ### Pace & Pressure 5/5RelaxedFast-paced ### Autonomy Level 5/5GuidedFull ownership ### Communication Load 5/5IndependentCollaborative AI insightThe position requires specialized textile-science knowledge and ownership of both technical testing standards and team operations.

The estimated US annual market range for a senior textile laboratory and quality leader is approximately $90,000–$140,000 USD, depending on technical specialization, management scope, and location; this market range is an estimate rather than a stated offer. ## Core skills Skills and capabilities most closely associated with this opportunity.

I would qualify suppliers through representative raw-material and finished-goods testing, validate their internal controls, set sampling frequencies and acceptance criteria, and use approved third-party laboratories for independent verification where needed. How do you investigate a failed fiber-composition or fineness test? I first verify sample traceability, test method selection, equipment calibration, and laboratory controls to rule out analytical error. I then compare retained samples and supplier records, conduct confirmatory testing when appropriate, identify the process or material root cause, and implement corrective and preventive actions with clear follow-up testing. What is your experience working with standards such as GB, ISO, and ASTM? I use standards to define repeatable methods, sample preparation, tolerances, reporting requirements, and quality-release criteria. When customer, market, or supplier requirements differ, I create a documented testing matrix that identifies the governing standard and ensures labs and factories are aligned on the same method. How would you use testing data to improve procurement and production decisions? I would build clear technical reports and dashboards showing supplier performance, defect trends, lot variability, and testing pass rates. These insights can guide supplier selection, incoming-material controls, production adjustments, and development decisions while prioritizing the highest-risk quality issues. How do you lead a QA/QC laboratory team while maintaining speed and accuracy? I set unambiguous SOPs, training and competency requirements, calibration schedules, and quality-control checks for every method. I also monitor turnaround time, re-test rates, and nonconformance trends, then coach the team through regular reviews so operational speed never compromises data integrity. 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. 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. * Supervise laboratory operations and ensure compliance with international testing standards (GB, ISO, ASTM). * Collaborate with suppliers, brands, and third-party testing institutions (e.g., SGS, BV, TUV, UL, Shanghai Garment Research Institute). * 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. * Career development opportunities in textile testing and quality leadership. 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 $1—$2 USD WHY QUINCE?
