Senior Data Scientist, Planning and Forecasting

Quince is building its own supply chain planning science capability from scratch. This involves demand forecasting at multiple geographic scales, methodology-agnostic forecasting tournaments, inventory placement optimization across a growing international network, vendor performance modelling, raw material signal generation. The agenda is wide, the data is rich, and the business consequence is direct.

As a senior data scientist on this team, you’ll own modelling workstreams within that agenda. You’ll work alongside the charter leadership setting the science roadmap and the engineering team building the platform around your work. This role comes with ample scope to do real, end-to-end science, and enough engineering support that models you build actually run.

We expect AI-native science. Modern forecasting and OR work makes regular use of LLM-aided EDA, agentic feature engineering, and AI-augmented experimentation

Joining Quince means being part of a mission-driven team reshaping retail. You will work alongside talented colleagues, tackle meaningful challenges, and contribute to building a more sustainable, accessible future for customers and partners alike.
