Why I'm the Perfect Fit to be the Quince AI Workflow Specialist

Your job description lists specific needs. I've done all of them, with measurable results. Here's how:

What You Need

AI Agent Configuration & Optimization

Develop and maintain AI Agent Operating Procedures aligned with company standards, monitor AI tool performance, and identify improvement opportunities

What I've Done

Built and deployed Intercom's Fin AI bot at Kit.com that automatically resolved 2,000+ tickets per month and saved 400+ hours of team time. I wrote the operating procedures, trained the AI on our knowledge base, monitored resolution rates, and iterated based on what worked. Started at 45% resolution rate, then identified gaps and added custom answers to push it higher.

What You Need

CX Platform Administration (Gladly, Decagon)

Administer CX systems including managing user access, configurations, and platform optimization

What I've Done

Administered Intercom for a 50+ person support team at Kit.com for 4+ years. Managed user permissions, built custom bots (including a fraud detection compliance bot), created ticket workflows, and configured rules and automations. At Circle, I'm currently collaborating on launching the Guru knowledge base and vetting BPO partnerships for chat expansion. I know how to make support platforms work for real teams.

What You Need

Documentation & SOP Creation

Create documentation, training materials, and Standard Operating Procedures for internal teams

What I've Done

Managed a 400+ page support knowledge base at Kit.com. I didn't just maintain it, I rebuilt it. Reorganized 400+ articles to match the new UI, coordinated with writers and product managers, created video tutorials using Figma prototypes before features launched, and wrote SOPs for everything from AI bot usage to technical escalation workflows. I can write clear docs that actually get used.

What You Need

Data Analysis & QA Frameworks

Implement quality assurance frameworks, calibrate feedback mechanisms, and analyze performance data to identify operational trends

What I've Done

Developed KPIs and coaching programs that increased customer happiness metrics by 15%+ at Kit.com. Built gamification systems to track agent performance, created custom reports to identify ticket trends, and audited the knowledge base using performance data to prioritize which articles needed rewrites. I know how to look at data and figure out what actually matters.

What You Need

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work with engineering, product, and IT teams on system improvements and escalate technical issues

What I've Done

Collaborated with product and engineering teams for 6+ years at Kit.com, creating support documentation for dozens of product launches annually. Worked with the fraud detection team to build compliance bots, partnered with engineering on ticket escalation workflows, and coordinated with IT on tool audits that saved $24k per year. I speak both customer and engineer.

Why I Want to Work at Quince

A few weeks ago, a friend told me I needed to check out Quince. She was raving about the quality-to-price ratio on her cashmere sweater. I looked into it, got interested in the brand, and then this job posting popped up. Suddenly Quince was on my radar twice: first as a potential customer, then as a potential employer.

When I dug into your growth story, it all clicked. You doubled your valuation to $4.5 billion in six months and just raised $200 million in July 2025. That kind of growth means you're solving a real problem. It also means your customer support team is probably stretched right now. What really caught my attention is that you're hiring specifically for AI automation of customer experience. Most companies hire support people and then ask them to figure out AI. You're doing it the other way around, which tells me you understand something important: good AI automation isn't just about deploying tools. It's about understanding workflows, building operating procedures, and making sure the AI actually solves customer problems instead of creating new ones.

At Kit.com, I took an AI bot from zero to resolving 2,000+ tickets per month. But the real work wasn't the initial setup. It was the iteration. Finding gaps in the knowledge base. Writing custom answers for edge cases. Training the team to work alongside the AI instead of fighting it. That's what this role is really about, and that's what I'm good at.

I'm looking for a place where I can make a real impact from day one. Quince is scaling fast, you're investing in AI-powered support, and you need someone who's already done this. That's me.

Beyond the Resume

Outside of work, I'm building an iOS app as a hobby project to solve my own problem: learning Japanese vocabulary. As a non-programmer, this project uses the latest AI prompt engineering techniques and puts me in the trenches of modern product development. I'm working directly with AI tools (Claude, actually) to build features, manage the development process, and iterate based on real user feedback.

This hands-on experience gives me something most customer support leaders don't have: I understand what it's like to be both the builder and the user. I see what product teams face when building features. I know the technical constraints that affect timelines. I experience the frustration when something doesn't work the way it should. This makes me better at writing documentation, building AI workflows, and bridging the gap between customers and engineering teams.

I combine deep customer empathy with technical understanding and hands-on AI experience. I've built support systems from scratch, scaled them with automation, and I'm ready to do it again at Quince.
