Berlin, Berlin, Deutschland Zalando Vollzeit 80.000 € - 120.000 € pro Jahr
THE ROLE & THE TEAM

Zalando's B2C strategy emphasises quality, expanding lifestyle categories (called propositions), and enhancing fashion discovery, together with our partners on our Platform. A "platform-first" approach drives business dynamics & creates value through relevant customer experiences. Our priority is increasing platform attractiveness and partner profitability, as their success is crucial for the platform's overall effectiveness.

As a Head of PPB Finance (all genders), you are the go-to person with respect to all financial aspects of the Platform business. You & your team are responsible for the financial planning, steering & execution of the business strategy to exponentially grow the platform business in a profitable manner. In addition, you will also lead and drive financial workstreams and business cases to ensure our investments in the program deliver the highest ROI and that we focus on delivering the biggest building blocks in 2026 and beyond. Your key stakeholder will be the VP of PPB. In addition, you will collaborate closely across senior business leaders (within PPB and across Propositions) as well as across finance teams (Business Finance Organisation, FP&A & Accounting).

INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN

If you think you have what it takes, we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every single requirement. You may just be the right candidate for this or other roles

At Zalando, our vision is to be the leading pan-European ecosystem for fashion and lifestyle e-commerce - one that thrives on diversity and is truly inclusive by design. We believe that diverse teams fuel innovation and creativity, and we actively seek out talent from all backgrounds.
