Principal Product Manager - Data Science

THE ROLE & THE TEAM
Over the last years, we learned that solving fulfillment-related challenges for the good of our customers helps us to fuel the growth of our platform. With more partners joining our platform, we have been developing and testing additional further fulfillment services tailored to their needs.

By unifying and collaborating these services under a single umbrella, we provide a more holistic approach to deliver the optimal fulfillment solution to meet our partners' needs, and leverage common services to enable partner growth.

The teams behind our business-to-business (B2B) services act as an innovative unit within Zalando, which enables us to act fast. Multichannel fulfillment is where we fulfill orders outside the Zalando channel. Using the infrastructure that Zalando constructed for itself as a basis, we help the merchants to build their logistics solutions.Our vision is to become Europe’s leading logistics ecosystem. We want to unlock partners’ growth by providing flexible fulfillment capacities and full access to our European-wide logistic network.
As a Principal Product Manager in Connected Network, you will be part of a team working on an ecosystem of partner facing and internal facing products. You will be responsible for enabling merchant and customer centricity supported by data driven insights, with touch points across the value chain from finance to supply chain to reporting. You will collaborate with senior product leadership for Data Science, working closely with our external partners, internal teams and stakeholders.
