About the Team.
Department: Corporate Technologies

Reports to: Lead Talent and Insights Solutions

Team Size: 8-10

Recruiter name, e-mail: Abdul Hafige Tafadar, abdul.tafadar@zalando.de

Zalando is transforming from Europe's leading e-commerce company into a data driven tech company with fashion as the heartbeat. As consultant for our HR IT talent solutions, you will be the tech counterpart for our HR business. Zalando is aiming to create the same user experience which our customers get, for our internal employees. As a solution consultant you will team up with our colleagues from the HR function, making sure to understand the needs of the organization and to create tech solutions that will support in bringing those HR visions and processes to life. Ideally you also have a proven track record in IT solution management and are able to guide developer teams in the creation and maintenance of custom developed tech solutions applying known standards such as SCRUM. In addition experience in project management is a must.
WHERE YOUR EXPERTISE IS NEEDED
  • Experience. You have a minimum of approx. 3-5 years of proven success in a similar field and you have already gained some experience as a (technical) consultant in the area of HR IT solutions. You have experience in technical product management as well as project management.
  • Expertise. You are well-structured and an excellent communicator in English. You understand the needs of the HR business team as well as the complexity of an infrastructure of HR IT tools that need to seamlessly interact with each other. You have a profound understanding of tech tools and have previously worked with HR SaaS solutions such as SuccessFactors/ Workday/ Oracle as well as self custom developed solutions. Additionally, it would be great if you had already gained experience in IT implementation and transformation projects.
  • Motivation. You have an analytical thinking. Working in an environment of complex data models caters to your interest. You like to identify your stakeholders' needs, before they know them, and consult them to a solution. Additionally, you enjoy the challenge of doing project work and tough timelines don't give you sleepless nights.
  • Attitude. You understand Zalando's business strategy and share our culture and core values - you are humble, hungry and driven. Networking comes naturally to you. You are always eager to support and get creative while not losing sight of the bigger picture, and your stakeholders can rely on you at all times.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • Excellence. You will be collaborating with different HR and non-HR stakeholders, who are decentrally organized and belong to different business units with differing needs, interests and objectives. To keep a cool head while managing all expectations and providing solutions, will be the challenge. At the same time you will be owning tech solutions that are guiding employees through their career at Zalando hence have high visibility and attention in the company.
  • Tech Overview. In cooperation with different stakeholders, who in turn pursue different objectives, you will maintain an overview of the 3rd-party and custom developed solutions that reflect the innovative character of our processes while they have to be robust, sustainable and in alignment with our longer term strategy. To keep a fast pace in fulfilling the needs of the organization, Zalando is constantly searching for innovative tech solutions on the market. To find, assess them and make sure they fit into our existing landscape will be your task.
  • Tech Skills. The ability to simplify and explain complex tech structures to your stakeholders is one of your key strengths. But if the available tools don't provide the solution to the identified obstacle, we expect you to come up with and provide technical bridges or self developed solutions by guiding software engineers in the role of a product manager.
  • Project Management. As Zalando will be heading into a future where the scalability of its complex tech landscape needs to be assured while at the same time transforming parts of it, experience in HR IT transformation projects is crucial. We expect you to be able and take over the project management for smaller tech projects as well as sub-streams in larger enterprise projects. A proven track record in project management is therefore required.
PERKS AT WORK
  • Culture of trust, empowerment and constructive feedback, open source commitment, meetups, game nights, 70+ internal technical and fun guilds, knowledge sharing through tech talks, internal tech academy and blogs, product demos, parties & events
  • Competitive salary, employee share shop, 40% Zalando shopping discount, discounts from external partners, centrally located offices, public transport discounts, municipality services, great IT equipment, flexible working times, additional holidays and volunteering time off, free beverages and fruits, diverse sports and health offerings
  • Extensive onboarding, mentoring and personal development opportunities and an international team of experts
  • Relocation assistance for internationals, PME family service and parent & child rooms* (*available in select locations)

We celebrate diversity and are committed to building teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and skills. All employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need.
