Sr. Associate, Product Integrity
Maiden Home is growing a team of forward-thinking individuals who possess unique strengths and perspectives, an innate ability to inspire their colleagues, and an eagerness to reimagine the world of luxury furnishings.
As our Product Integrity Sr. Associate, you will be responsible for our Product Quality and Repair & Warranty function — owning both individual customer quality concerns, and programmatically driving continuous improvement of our product portfolio. This role will lead issue tracking (via our MIRT system), grow to own all root cause analysis, serve as the go-to subject matter expert on customer-facing quality concerns, and partner closely with Product, Ops, and Customer Care to drive product improvements. You'll lead initiatives to reduce transit damage and warranty issues through product redesign, packaging updates, process improvements and partner management. Success requires strong analytical thinking, clear communication, aesthetic alignment with our brand, and a deep understanding of our customer. This is a high-impact role for someone with exceptional technical skills, relationship savvy, and a bias toward action.
This is a unique opportunity to join a brand that is primed for its next stage of growth–with a proven competitive advantage in its ability to attract, motivate and retain top talent across a range of disciplines. At Maiden Home, you’ll find a workspace that encourages innovation, creative expression, and teamwork, and your experience will be shaped by your performance, contributions, and drive.
This role is located at our New York headquarters, located in the TriBeCa design district.
