ZEOS is part of Zalando, leveraging the company’s infrastructure, technology, and expertise to build an operating system for fashion & lifestyle. Established in 2023, ZEOS is developing tools that allow brands and retailers to manage their multi-channel business in one place. We aim to enable seamless e-commerce across Europe from new market entry and expansion to optimization and business steering. The first ZEOS product is called ZEOS Fulfilment, and it gives brands and retailers the ability to fulfil their multi-channel sales using one stock pool, one carrier integration, and one user interface. Being a small unit within a big company enables us to act fast, but with the backup from one of the leading online platforms for fashion and lifestyle in Europe.

Over the last years, we learned at Zalando that solving fulfilment related challenges for the good of our merchants 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. Zalando launched the ZEOS brand last year (short for Zalando E-commerce Operating System), aiming to build an operating system for the fashion and lifestyle industry that enables brands and retailers to manage their multi-channel business across Europe within one unified platform.

As a Senior Product Designer in the ZEOS Design & Research team, you will be responsible for customer-facing digital experiences for our ZEOS Logistics service offerings. Your joint mission is to empower fashion and lifestyle brands to expand their business and increase their profitability across multiple marketplaces and countries throughout Europe through ZEOS.

Using your excellent craft skills and seasoned experience, you will design 0 to 1 experiences that empower brands and retailers to steer their multi-channel logistics for their business from our ZEOS digital touchpoints. This is an important role that will help shape the vision for the user experiences for ZEOS, and requires strong foundational UX skills, exceptional stakeholder management, experience in workshop facilitation, and in crafting and evangelising design strategies and visions.
