Responsibilities

• Own and execute Quince's proactive global media strategy across business, retail, technology, and consumer press, translating the company's manufacturer-to-consumer model into coverage that builds long-term brand equity and trust
• Serve as Quince's primary media relationships owner, cultivating deep, durable relationships with journalists and editors at outlets including BoF, Bloomberg, WSJ, WWD, Vogue Business, and Modern Retail, with credibility that gets calls returned
• Originate and pitch story angles that advance Quince's core narrative: the operating system behind the brand, category expansion, and global growth, moving coverage beyond price and product into how the business actually works
• Lead the drumbeat of proactive placements around company milestones, ensuring Quince tells its own story before others tell it for us
• Write and edit at an executive standard across press releases, media briefs, executive commentary, fact sheets, and background documents, serving as the company's sharpest editorial filter
• Prepare and position executive spokespeople for high-stakes media moments, owning briefing materials, message architecture, and interview prep in partnership with external media trainers
• Act as the communications lead for cross-functional launches, partnering with product, merchandising, and growth to shape announcements from strategy through execution rather than at the press-release stage
• Direct and hold accountable external PR agency partners, setting scope, driving output quality, and ensuring agency work ladders up to company narrative priorities
• Build and own the measurement framework for earned media, reporting coverage quality, share of voice, and narrative penetration, not just clip counts
• Design scalable communications systems, processes, and playbooks that allow the function to grow ahead of the company's next stage
