Senior Quality Specialist

The Zalando platform enables partners (brands, retailers, distributors) to sell fashion articles directly to the Zalando customers. The Test Order Quality team is under the umbrella of the Platform Order Experience team whose purpose is to drive customer experience of the post-purchase journey for the platform business. The Test Order Quality team ensures that partners adhere to Zalando customer promises and customer expectations.

As a Quality Performance Specialist , you will be responsible for the operational performance of the Test Order Quality vendor who checks the order fulfillment and return process of dropship partners against defined quality requirements by means of random test orders.

You will bring and extend your expertise in quality performance, customer experience, and vendor management. You will take over coordination with internal stakeholders and the vendor to continuously drive for higher quality and customer experience of the platform.
