 Sourcing Manager – Soft Home (EU)
Location: Flexible within EU

OUR STORY
Quince was founded to challenge the idea that nice things should cost a lot. Our mission is simple: create items of equal or greater quality than leading luxury brands and offer them at a much lower price. We believe everyone deserves access to high-quality essentials—from crewneck sweaters to hotel-quality sheets—without paying luxury markups.

THE ROLE
We are seeking a strategic and entrepreneurial Sourcing Manager to build and lead our soft home sourcing function in EU. This person will be Quince's first hire in EU, tasked with identifying and onboarding new vendor partners from scratch. The role will focus primarily on cotton bedding, kids bedding and window coverings, with potential expansion into other home textile categories such as towels, table linens, and kitchen textiles.

This is a rare opportunity to own and build a greenfield sourcing operation in a high-impact category. The ideal candidate will bring deep knowledge of home textile manufacturing, strong vendor relationships (or the ability to cultivate them), and the operational rigor to scale new supply chains that deliver on cost, quality, and lead time.
