Compensation Intelligence Lead

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If you’re someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.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

Compensation Intelligence Lead

Quince is hiring its first Compensation Intelligence Lead to join the Global Rewards team. This is a foundational, technical build role: you will design and construct the data systems, automated pipelines, and AI-powered tooling that power how Quince thinks about compensation — from offer to equity refresh to market benchmarking.

This role is for someone who leads with data and engineering instinct. You are energized by building from scratch, comfortable working across systems, and sharp enough to surface intelligence from complex datasets. Comp expertise is a plus — but curiosity about how compensation works and why it matters will take you far here. You will report to the Head of Global Rewards and partner closely with Talent, Finance, and Legal.

This role sits within Total Rewards and will develop broad exposure to the full portfolio — including benefits and wellness programs — over time. Success looks like: a live compensation data environment that integrates all of Quince’s people systems, an automated benchmarking process that surfaces market trends in real time, and infrastructure that scales with the company’s global growth.

Responsibilities

Architect and build custom tooling that integrates Rippling, Greenhouse, Pave, and Radford into a unified, live data environment

Design and deploy Quince’s automated benchmarking and comp structure process, including real-time market data scraping, monitoring pipelines, and trend surfacing

Build and maintain AI-powered workflows that automate manual compensation processes and surface actionable intelligence to stakeholders

Support the annual compensation review cycle, including data modeling, system administration, and manager-facing deliverables

Own the monthly equity grant approval motion, partnering with Finance and Legal to execute on time and in compliance

Collaborate with the Talent team to scope, build, or implement an agentic offer evaluation tool that surfaces comp recommendations in real time

Analyze compensation data across all employee types and geographies to identify trends, surface anomalies, and inform decisions

Develop familiarity with Quince’s broader Total Rewards portfolio — including benefits and wellness programs — to support holistic comp philosophy and employee-facing communications

Partner with the Head of Global Rewards on global comp strategy, job architecture, and leveling

Qualifications

Required:

Demonstrated experience actively building with AI tools — not just using AI-powered products, but prompting, scripting, or constructing workflows with LLMs or AI APIs

Experience in compensation, total rewards, or people analytics — or a demonstrated curiosity about how compensation works and a track record of picking up new domains quickly

Strong proficiency in data tools and scripting (Python, SQL, or similar) to build automated pipelines, custom integrations, and analytical tooling

Proven ability to work with large, complex datasets and translate findings into clear, actionable outputs for non-technical stakeholders

Experience working with HRIS, ATS, or people systems (e.g., Rippling, Greenhouse, Pave, Radford, or equivalents)

Comfort operating in ambiguity and building processes where few or none exist

Clear communication skills; able to make complex data legible to business partners across Finance, Legal, and People

Preferred:

Familiarity with global compensation frameworks and multi-geography pay structures

Experience with equity compensation administration, including grant approval workflows

Background in data engineering, BI tooling, or building internal dashboards

Prior experience in a high-growth technology or e-commerce company

Experience scoping or implementing agentic AI workflows in an HR or People context

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

$180,000 — $220,000 USD
