Quince At Quince, every detail matters—especially when it comes to long-term product performance. We’re hiring a full-time Manager of Product Performance Standards to own and implement the performance quality system that governs every stage of development, from New Product Concept (NPC) through Product Launch. Your mission: build and enforce collection-level quality standards that ensure every product we launch meets Quince’s bar for durability, functionality, and consistency. You’ll define what to test, when to test, and how to make go/no-go decisions based on data—not guesswork. Own Quality Performance Standards from Concept to Launch – Lead the definition and enforcement of performance quality standards across the full development process—from early product briefs (NPC) through final production approval. Set Collection-Level Standards – Write test specification frameworks by product type (e.g., linen shirts, knit joggers, outerwear). Establish clear targets for pilling, shrinkage, tensile strength, colorfastness, seam durability, and other key metrics. Build the Testing Standards Library for Product Development – Develop a structured system of performance requirements—organized by product family—with test methods, pass/fail thresholds, and historical benchmarks. Define Quality Gates at each Product Development Step – Establish required tests and checkpoints by round (e.g., yarn testing, PPS, TOP). Determine what must pass before proceeding to the next development phase or launch. Integrate Testing into Development Workflow – Collaborate with PD, Tech, and Sourcing to ensure performance testing is embedded in calendars, round reviews, and vendor requirements—not treated as a late-stage check. Manage Lab Testing in Product Development – Build aligned test panels, coordinate testing timelines, and ensure sample submissions and retests happen on time, tied to each stage of the development cycle. Systematize and Scale – Build reusable templates and SOPs for the Quince Product Development team and collaborate with the QA team to ensure QC and Vendor adoption of quality testing frameworks across future collections. Requirements include 8+ years in product quality, testing, and QA—ideally across apparel, accessories, and/or home; ownership experience in building or managing category-level quality specs from concept to launch; expertise in ASTM, AATCC, and vendor-facing testing protocols; proven ability to set quality standards and interpret test results to make business-critical decisions; strong documentation, system design, and cross-functional communication skills; analytical, detail-oriented, and able to scale standards through process and tools.
