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If you\'re someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.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
Legal Counsel
We\'re seeking a Legal Counsel to join as the second lawyer in our International legal team, helping to scale Quince\'s presence across the UK and EU and shape how the legal function supports our international business. You\'ll own matters and projects end-to-end and support the full scope of the business, including commercial contracting, employment, logistics, IP, data protection and product compliance.
This is a high-autonomy, foundational role for someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, makes sound judgments without established playbooks, and takes ownership from day one. You\'ll work directly with leaders and cross-functional partners across product, engineering, operations, HR, logistics, marketing, merchandising and customer service to launch and scale our UK and EU presence, build practical legal processes from scratch, and move priorities forward with a bias for action.
Critical to this role: you\'ll be hands-on, doing legal work directly rather than delegating to external counsel. You\'ll manage external relationships pragmatically, balancing specialist advice with cost efficiency. You\'ll say 'yes, and here's how' more often than 'no' - while protecting the business from material legal risk.
Responsibilities
Generalist Legal
- Legal contact for UK and EU-based teams and issues
- Provide strategic and day-to-day counsel across a range of commercial, regulatory, and operational matters
- Key focus on scaling the UK business to new EU markets
- Escalate material legal issues to the Legal Director; own resolution of day-to-day matters independently
- Horizon scanning for relevant UK and EU legislative updates
Employment
- Work with People Director to build UK and EU playbooks and policies.
- Support Legal and People Directors with onboarding, terminations, restructures, and performance issues across multiple jurisdictions
- Support the Legal Director with employee-related inquiries, compliance and team growth in UK and planned EU offices
- Help maintain awareness of emerging employment law changes in UK and target EU markets
Data Privacy & Consumer Protection
- Advise on UK and EU GDPR, including data subject rights, transfer mechanisms (SCCs, adequacy decisions), and cookie compliance
- Advise on marketing practices, pricing strategies, sustainability claims, and consumer protection regulation (e.g., CMA, ASA guidelines)
- Collaborate on privacy policies, terms of service, and consent flows
- Assist Legal Director with interactions with UK and EU regulators and support handling of data subject access requests and breach notifications
- Ensure product claims, environmental claims, and sizing/sustainability representations comply with UK/EU standa
