About the role

THE ROLE & THE TEAM

The ZEOS Logistics department is responsible for all partner-facing Zalando Logistics Solutions.  By uniting these services under a single umbrella, we provide a more holistic approach to deliver the optimal fulfilment solution to meet our partners' needs, and leverage common services to enable partner program growth.

Over the last years, we learned that solving fulfilment-related challenges for the good of our partners helps us to fuel the growth of our platform. Strengthened by this successful growth, we have started the next step in our journey - expanding our business outside of the Zalando ecosystem, exploring both physical and digital services. 

As a Principal Strategic Operations Project Manager (B2B), you will report directly to the Head of Platform Operations. You will manage a diverse portfolio of projects, both large and small, all with significant strategic impact. Collaborating with multiple stakeholders across logistics, sales, product, and within your own platform operations team, your role will be key in driving the success of our Merchants on both Zalando and other platforms.

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.
