Job Details
At Zalando we have launched our do.MORE strategy and our vision to be a sustainable fashion platform with a net-positive impact for people and the planet. We outlined six focus areas, ranging from cutting our carbon emissions to applying the principles of circularity to the fashion industry. We defined specific targets, which we aim to reach within the coming years (not decades). One of these targets is our Skilling Goal - By 2023, we will have supported 10,000 people in the workforce by providing skilling opportunities that match future work requirements.
As the Senior Program Manager. Skilling Goal, you will support the acceleration of our skilling approach addressing mega trends. Building on the approach developed in 2020, this role will take the lead in promoting the existing learning catalogue more effectively, and identifying gaps in our existing learning portfolio, connecting with the various learning academies across Zalando. You will map out what we can leverage internally and what we want to add externally. This will include alignment with other departments such as People Tech and Data Privacy. You will also make contact with external bodies and agencies to help raise awareness of support and funding available to all Zalandos to support reskilling needs
WHERE YOUR EXPERTISE IS NEEDED
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.
