Senior Manager, Global Procurement (Materials)

In breve

Quince is a fast‑growing, direct‑to‑consumer brand that designs and sells high‑quality essentials at very low prices. By cutting out traditional retail layers, the company works directly with manufacturers worldwide and uses proprietary technology, AI and analytics to scale quickly across apparel, accessories, home goods and more. The Senior Manager, Global Procurement (Materials) will sit under the Head of Procurement and be responsible for shaping the cost structure and savings strategy for the company's raw‑material supply chain. On a day‑to‑day basis the role will create and maintain a commodity‑insight framework that monitors global market shifts, raw‑material price movements, currency risks and macro‑trends. The manager will build a live tracking system for key inputs, surface supply risks and opportunities, and provide regular intelligence to procurement and senior leadership. In addition, the position will develop material‑specific clean‑sheet cost models that lock in baseline component costs before production, support Tier‑1 supplier negotiations, and contribute to margin reviews that align with Quince's target profitability. The ideal candidate must bring deep expertise in commodity costing, clean‑sheet engineering, manufacturing efficiency and raw‑material availability. Experience in driving cost‑to‑should‑price outcomes, managing supply continuity and aligning procurement with innovation and sustainability goals is essential. The role requires the ability to work with Tier‑2 and Tier‑3 suppliers, challenge pricing, and deliver transparent, competitive cost structures that meet both Quince's and its partners' objectives. Preferred experience includes a track record of building live price‑tracking tools, forecasting material‑market trends, and influencing cross‑functional teams in a fast‑paced, data‑driven environment. Candidates who thrive in Quince's builder‑by‑builders culture, questioning conventions, leveraging technology and moving quickly from idea to execution, will find the position especially rewarding. The role offers a high‑impact opportunity to shape global procurement strategy, contribute to company growth and help define the future of sustainable, low‑cost product sourcing.
