Sr. Manager, Global Communications

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:

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.

• →Serve as Quince's primary media relationships owner, cultivating deep, durable relationships with journalists and editors at outlets including BoF, Bloomberg, WSJ, WWD, Vogue Business, and Modern Retail, with credibility that gets calls returned
• →Originate and pitch story angles that advance Quince's core narrative: the operating system behind the brand, category expansion, and global growth, moving coverage beyond price and product into how the business actually works
• →Lead the drumbeat of proactive placements around company milestones, ensuring Quince tells its own story before others tell it for us
• →Write and edit at an executive standard across press releases, media briefs, executive commentary, fact sheets, and background documents, serving as the company's sharpest editorial filter
• →Prepare and position executive spokespeople for high-stakes media moments, owning briefing materials, message architecture, and interview prep in partnership with external media trainers
• →Act as the communications lead for cross-functional launches, partnering with product, merchandising, and growth to shape announcements from strategy through execution rather than at the press-release stage

• →Maintain constant fluency in the retail, commerce, and consumer landscape, anticipating news cycles and positioning Quince inside the stories that matter before they break

We’re looking for a Senior Manager of Global Communications to help lead Quince’s media strategy and external storytelling as the company enters its next stage of growth.

This is a rare build. You will be the sole owner of the communications function, reporting directly to the Head of Brand Strategy & Narrative, with the mandate and autonomy to shape how one of the most closely watched companies in retail is understood by the market. Quince's story is not a typical retail story. It is a story about a system: a manufacturer-to-consumer model that changes the economics of quality. The right candidate will find that irresistible.

Great communications is not about announcements. It is about shaping how the market understands a company over time, and choosing the moments, voices, and stories that compound into trust. We are looking for someone who operates at that altitude while still loving the craft.

• 8+ years of experience in public relations, communications, or media strategy
• Experience working with consumer brands, retail platforms, or high-growth technology companies
• Strong media relationships across business, retail, and consumer press
• Exceptional writing and editing skills
• Experience managing agency partners and cross-functional stakeholders
• Ability to translate complex ideas into clear and compelling narratives
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously

Joining Quince means being part of a mission-driven team reshaping retail. You will work alongside talented colleagues, tackle meaningful challenges, and contribute to building a more sustainable, accessible future for customers and partners alike.
