CS Learning and Development Specialist

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If you’re someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.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

CS Learning & Development Specialist

We are seeking a CS Learning & Development Specialist to join our growing team.

In this role, you will accelerate agent time-to-proficiency and improve customer experience outcomes globally through high-quality facilitation, coaching, performance diagnostics, and targeted reinforcement that directly support agent readiness and business performance.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Training Delivery, Facilitation & Nesting Execution

AI-Enabled Training Delivery & Scalable Learning Operations

• Leverage AI-assisted tools and eLearning assets to increase training throughput and capacity while maintaining high-quality learner outcomes.
• Deliver scalable onboarding and nesting using structured practice systems (scenario-based learning, simulations, and proficiency-based progression) rather than time-based learning alone.
• Use learner performance signals from training activities (exercises, scenario performance, QA trends) to personalize reinforcement and reduce early-tenure risk.
• Teach agents how to use AI tools responsibly in live customer workflows, including verification behaviors, exception handling, and escalation judgment.
• Apply strong judgment and quality controls when using AI-assisted content, coaching prompts, or practice scenarios to ensure accuracy and alignment with Quince CX standards.

Coaching, Readiness & Skill Reinforcement

• Establish personalized, targeted interventions for at-risk learners (e.g., 1-on-1 coaching plans, customized reinforcement, adaptive practice pathways)
• Monitor learner progression and readiness signals; proactively adjust support based on performance data and individual needs
• Reinforce key behaviors through post-training follow-ups, calibration moments, and targeted reinforcement activities.
• Partner with QA and Operations to identify recurring performance gaps and translate them into coaching and reinforcement priorities.

Content Iteration & Regional Enablement Support

• Maintain and update existing onboarding and enablement materials to reflect changes in tools, workflows, policies, and customer experience priorities.
• Customize facilitator materials, practice scenarios, and reinforcement activities to meet cohort needs and address emerging performance trends.
• Contribute to training content improvements and regional enhancements in partnership with Learning Experience Design and Knowledge Management, flexing build work based on facilitation schedules and business needs.
• Partner with Learning Experience Design and Knowledge Management to implement content updates and regional enhancements, flexing build work based on facilitation schedules and business needs.
• Provide structured feedback from live training and nesting observations to inform content updates, pathway improvements, and future training builds.

Performance & Continuous Improvement

• Recommend improvements with supporting data and prioritize by business impact (CSAT, DSAT, attrition, compliance risk, time-to-proficiency)
• Pilot and test new facilitation approaches, tools, and formats to improve engagement, personalization, and scalability; balance experimentation with operational consistency.
• Own the design, development, and continuous iteration of onboarding and nesting curriculum (scenarios, assessments, job aids, reinforcement activities)
• Translate performance insights into curriculum improvements (e.g., scenario refinement, new practice activities, job aids, modality changes)

REQUIREMENTS:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• 4-6 years of experience in customer experience training or learning roles
• Strong facilitation and coaching skills, with experience delivering ILT and VILT to diverse audiences
• Demonstrated ability to leverage learning technology and AI-assisted tools to increase training throughput and capacity while maintaining quality
• Experience creating and updating training materials across formats (eLearning/WBT, microlearning, reinforcement activities, job aids)
• Strong data literacy, with the ability to interpret performance signals (QA, CSAT/DSAT, time-to-proficiency) and apply insights to improve learner outcomes
• Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including comfort delivering feedback and coaching.
• Global mindset: Comfortable assessing and customizing learning across regions and BPO partners; experience with regional compliance, product variations, or market-specific training
