About Zalando
Founded 2008 in Berlin by David Schneider and Robert Gentz Zalando transformed from an e-commerce company into a multi-service platform for fashion. From logistics, to big brands, to fashion bloggers – we’re building the engine that connects all people and the fashion ecosystem.
About the Zalando Marketplace Business Unit:
Growing at a rapid pace throughout 2019, 2020 and in the future, Zalando’s Marketplace, built by a business unit named “Merchant Operations” is one of Zalando’s highest investment areas. We are redefining Zalando’s marketplace model, bringing customers and partners closer together. Our team will be the driving force behind the next chapter in Zalando’s story. In Merchant Operations, we make it possible for partners of all kinds to connect with more than 30 million active customers across 17 countries.
Find a workplace in the heart of Berlin, Dublin, Helsinki or Dortmund built on trust, feedback and the empowerment that comes with a positive and inspiring working atmosphere. In today’s challenging times we have, however, adapted our working remote and work from home policies in order to accommodate and support our employees.
Also, Zalando’s future is not designed yet. This is why we look for people who are innovative enough to break through the status quo, brave enough to fail and smart enough to win. Working for us, you will be provided with the trust to make decisions, the freedom to achieve mastery, and the opportunity to grow.
We are more than an international company with interesting opportunities. Zalando unites diverse people, capabilities and ideas. Consolidating our ideas and effort scales our impact as an innovator in both tech and fashion.
Our culture is one of our greatest strengths. Why? Because it’s built on our Founding Mindset and the values that make us unique. Our values define us, guide us, focus us and drive us. We don’t just list our values. We live them.)
