The Pricing Platform is responsible for algorithmic pricing, pricing tooling, and measurement systems. Zalando’s efficient growth relies on our ability to drive key consumer-facing aspects through a platform approach. The prices consumers see and transact against are critical in the customer journey. The majority of prices customers see are algorithmically generated via the pricing platform, and the remaining prices are done using tools the platform designs.
This position directly manages the prices for SKUs from thousands of brands for nearly 50 million customers totalling several billions in revenue and is central to Zalando’s commercial strategy of seeking profitable growth.
As the Head of Applied Science within our Pricing Platform team, you will manage the scientific aspects of our platform, overseeing the models, associated research, and product development. Your responsibilities will include:

- Overseeing demand modelling, forecasting, and inventory management for both constrained and replenishable supply.
- Collaborating, effectively communicating, and facilitating training and education with diverse stakeholders which include other principals, engineers, product managers, leaders, and executives.
- Manage the metrics and measurement for key pricing initiatives and systems from “cradle-to-grave” including the stages of quantification of benefits, exploratory research, A/B testing, validation, experimentation, advanced analytics, and post implementation assessments of value.
This role requires balancing a practical approach with a "keep it simple" mentality while simultaneously seeking highly sophisticated, state-of-the-art solutions. You will need excellent communication skills and innovative methods to explain models to various levels within the organisation.
