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:

Customer First: We prioritize customer satisfaction in every decision.

High Quality: True quality means premium materials and rigorous production standards you can feel good about.

Social & Environmental Responsibility: We commit to sustainable materials, ethical production, and fair wages.

The Role US Supply Planner, Hardlines

We are seeking a proactive, detail‑obsessed Supply Planner to oversee Quince's Made‑to‑Order (MTO) production operations across the United States, with a primary focus on our growing made‑to‑order furniture category. This role is pivotal in managing vendor performance, building strong operational relationships, and designing scalable production tracking processes to support high‑quality customer experiences.

The ideal candidate is both strategic and hands‑on—capable of enforcing SLAs and operational discipline while nurturing collaborative vendor relationships. You'll bring visibility and accountability to a fast‑scaling supply chain and act as the primary point of contact for 10‑20 emerging vendor partners across the US.

You will command domestic production rhythms, translate variable factory lead times, material constraints, and manufacturing production planning into reliable buy plans, and understand upholstery and casegoods workflows. You will track vendor reliability, identify bottlenecks early, and drive corrective actions without escalation. You will communicate constraints bluntly, translate operational issues into commercial impacts, and eliminate ambiguity for sales, merchandising, and logistics teams. You will function with minimal oversight, hold manufacturers accountable to commitments, and maintain stable inventory flow in a domestic supply chain where variability is common.
