AdresseTHE ROLE & THE TEAM
At Zalando, our goal is to become the "Starting Point of Fashion" - we want our customers to always start their fashion journey from the Zalando shop, knowing that anything fashion-related could be easily found.
As the In-Season Management and Data Products team, we support this vision by ensuring relevant assortment is available to our customers and providing a great shopping experience. We want to achieve high product availability and relevant assortment to minimize lost sales while controlling for overstock/underperformance to increase profitability.
As the Team Lead for the In-Season Management team, you will find yourself at the forefront of department-wide analytical initiatives, fostering analytical thinking and data-driven decision support mindset, being the trust advisor of your stakeholders, and tackling complex analytical challenges. You will challenge our status quo, drive innovation and introduce analytical best practices.
INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN
At Zalando, our vision is to be the starting point for fashion - one that is inclusive by design. We only assess candidates based on qualifications, merit, and business needs. We welcome applications from people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, personal expressions, racial identities, ethnicities, religious beliefs, and disability statuses. We only want to know why you're great for this role, so please avoid including your picture, age, and marital status in your CV as well.
We want to provide you with a great candidate experience. Please feel free to inform us of any accommodations you may need, so we can best support and assist you throughout the hiring process.
