Senior Fraud Operations Coordinator

About this role

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If you’re someone who likes to imagine new possibilities and build better systems rather than plug-in to outdated ones, Quince is the place for you.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

The Returns, Quality and Fraud team is seeking a highly independent, detail-oriented and proactive Senior Fraud Operations Coordinator to own fraud operations for Quince Europe. As the sole member of the Fraud team based in Europe, you will be the primary owner of all inbound fraud, chargeback, security and privacy activity for the region, working across every fraud system and tool to identify, investigate and resolve customer fraud. The ideal candidate is exceptionally organized, solution-driven and self-directed, with the judgment to make sound decisions and move work forward without day-to-day oversight from a manager or coworkers.

The candidate should thrive in a fast-paced, continuously evolving environment and be able to independently prioritize across live order monitoring, chargeback management, escalations and prevention initiatives. Because the majority of the team operates in US time zones, this person must be an outstanding communicator: proactively sharing updates, documenting decisions, escalating risks at the right time, and partnering across multiple teams and systems to synthesize data into clear narratives about customer behavior that drive effective resolutions and measurable fraud savings.

• Identify regional gaps in tooling, process or coverage and proactively propose and implement solutions

Fraud Investigations & Escalations

• Lead investigations into customer fraud activity across European markets, including credit card chargeback requests and suspicious activity escalations from Service, Auditing, Security, Privacy and other partners

• Triage and resolve fraud, security and privacy inbox requests within 24 hours

• Conduct account-level deep dives to identify linked behaviors, repeat offenders and coordinated abuse

• Act as a strong steward of the Quince brand, balancing fraud prevention with customer experience

Chargeback & Dispute Management

• Manage daily chargeback processing for Quince Europe across Stripe, Braintree, PayPal and any regional payment processors or methods

• Ensure all disputes are responded to and actioned a minimum of 14 calendar days prior to due dates

• Optimize representment documentation to improve dispute win rates

• Identify root causes driving chargebacks and recommend preventative controls

Active Order Monitoring & Asset Protection

• Conduct real-time review of high-risk and high-dollar transactions prior to fulfillment

• Investigate suspicious purchases across vulnerable categories such as gift cards, jewelry, 3P vendor products (e.g., Therabody, coffee makers) and gold bars
