Job description

Founded in 2018, Quince was built to challenge the idea that nice things have to cost a lot. Our mission is simple: to make really high quality essentials for really low prices, produced fairly and sustainably. We believe everyone deserves exceptional craftsmanship and timeless design without the traditional markups. Quince is a direct-to-consumer (DTC) model that cuts out middlemen and leverages just-in-time manufacturing to minimize waste and maximize value.

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.

Essential Design: We focus on timeless, functional essentials instead of chasing trends.

Always a Better Deal: Innovation and transparency ensure value for both customers and partners.

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

Quince partners with world-class manufacturers across the globe and serves millions of customers. With strong investor backing and a focus on sustainable growth, we are a company that is rapidly scaling while maintaining a commitment to quality, simplicity, and radical price transparency.

OUR TEAM AND SUCCESS

At Quince, you will be part of a high-performing team that is redefining what quality, value, and sustainability mean in modern retail. We are a destination for builders, innovators, and operators to come together and challenge the status quo. Our collective ambition is bold. We are creating an entirely new category and customer experience - one that democratizes luxury and provides high quality products at radically low prices. That mission demands a world-class team committed to excellence.

If you are motivated by impact, growth, and purpose, you will find a strong sense of belonging at Quince.

THE ROLE

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

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

• 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
