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
Product Manager, Fulfillment WMS
We are seeking a Product Manager, Fulfillment WMS to join our growing team. In this role, you will own the foundation of our warehouse fulfillment ecosystem—spanning both warehouse integrations (3PL + partners) and an in-house WMS (MVP → v1). This role sits at the intersection of software, operations, and physical logistics, directly impacting customer delivery experience, fulfillment cost, and our ability to scale. You will define how inventory flows through our network, build the systems that power that movement, and partner closely with operations teams on the ground.
Responsibilities
- Build the middleware + tools that connect external 3PL warehouses with Quince systems, standardizing inbound/outbound events, inventory signals, SLA monitoring, and capacity + appointment/booking so we can plan and allocate demand reliably.
- Build a pragmatic WMS that can be used in 1P warehouses that reliably supports inbound and outbound, including pick/pack/ship, inventory accuracy (cycle counts), and exceptions. Including the right (mobile) UX and operational controls to scale.
- This role is highly cross-functional, close to “real world” physical movement of inventory and directly moves customer delivery experience, cost, and growth capacity.
- Deeply learn and model warehouse flows (inbound → storage → replenishment → outbound) and constraints (labor, space, equipment, cutoffs, carrier pickups). Translate into product primitives and clear requirements.
- Define the key requirements that help define the target architecture and roadmap for a warehouse integration layer: APIs/EDI where needed, event model, data contracts, observability, and a unified “warehouse connector” approach across partners/sites.
- Build a capacity and booking platform: warehouse calendars, appointment scheduling (inbound/outbound), dock/slot constraints, labor/throughput limits, prioritization rules, and allocation logic tied to demand planning + order promises.
- Warehouse MVP: Deliver a WMS MVP focused on highest-leverage workflows: receiving, putaway, replenishment, pick/pack, ship confirmation, cycle counts, returns (as applicable), and robust exception handling.
- Lead execution with Warehouse Ops, Supply Chain, CX, Finance, and Engineering. Balance urgent operational needs with foundational platform investments.
- Evaluate build vs. buy vs. partner: 3PL capabilities, WMS vendors, dock scheduling solutions, label/carrier tooling, scanning devices, etc. Make pragmatic MVP decisions with a clear migration path.
- Establish controls and monitoring for systems that directly affect shipments and inventory: idempotency, auditability, reconciliation, fallback procedures, on-call playbooks, and staged rollouts by site.
Qualifications
Required:
- 3–7+ years total experience; 2+ years in product management, ideally building AI agents, human-in-the-loop guided systems, or owning internal platform or enterprise system workflows
- Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that span multiple tools/systems and stakeholder groups
- Technical fluency: Strong with APIs, event-driven systems, integrations (3PL/WMS/ERP/OMS), data contracts, and observability. Comfortable partnering deeply with engineers on architecture tradeoffs.
- Strong analytical mindset: comfortable defining metrics, diagnosing issues, and using data to make prioritization decisions.
- Excellent communicator across executive, business, engineering, and operations audiences
Preferred:
- Previous experience building operational + real world software (supply chain, logistics, warehouse, marketplace ops tooling, or similar)
- Demonstrated understanding of WMS/warehouse workflows: receiving, inventory, replenishment, picking/packing, shipping, exceptions, cycle counting
- Background in high-growth environments where operational scaling and tooling maturity are evolving quickly
- Comfortable building while operations are evolving; strong change management instincts
All posted ranges are reflective of base salary and may vary depending upon experience level and location. Bonus and equity may also be provided for eligible roles. Pay Range: $175,000 USD - $200,000 USD

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Which food and beverage companies sponsor H-1B1 visas in California?
California-based food and beverage employers with histories of H-1B1 sponsorship include companies in consumer packaged goods, wine and spirits, agricultural processing, and food technology. Firms such as Gallo Winery, Del Monte Foods, and various Bay Area food tech companies have filed Labor Condition Applications for specialty occupation roles. Sponsorship activity concentrates in R&D, food science, supply chain, and quality assurance functions where degree-specific expertise is required.
Which cities in California have the most food and beverage H-1B1 sponsorship jobs?
The Central Valley cities of Fresno, Modesto, and Stockton host significant food processing and agricultural manufacturing operations, generating demand for technical specialists. The San Francisco Bay Area attracts food technology and alternative protein companies requiring scientists and engineers. Los Angeles supports a large consumer packaged goods sector. Sacramento, given its proximity to agricultural supply chains, also sees recurring sponsorship activity in operations and quality roles.
What types of food and beverage roles typically qualify for H-1B1 sponsorship?
Roles that qualify for H-1B1 sponsorship must meet the specialty occupation standard, requiring at minimum a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field. In food and beverage, this commonly includes food scientists, food engineers, quality assurance managers, regulatory affairs specialists, supply chain analysts, and R&D chemists. General production, warehouse, or non-degree operational roles do not qualify. The job duties and degree field must directly align for the petition to be approvable.
How do I find food and beverage H-1B1 sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international job seekers and filters listings by visa type, including H-1B1, and by industry, including food and beverage. You can narrow results to California to see active sponsorship opportunities in the state. Because H-1B1 roles in this sector can be competitive and geographically specific, using a platform focused on visa sponsorship jobs saves considerable time compared to broader searches.
Are there state-specific considerations for H-1B1 sponsorship in California's food and beverage sector?
California's strong labor protections affect the Labor Condition Application process, as employers must attest to prevailing wage compliance under both federal and state standards. The state's dominance in wine production, food tech, and agricultural processing means sponsoring employers vary widely in size and sophistication, from large multinationals to early-stage startups. Smaller food companies may have less experience navigating H-1B1 requirements, so confirming an employer's sponsorship history before applying is worthwhile.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B1 food & beverage jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
