Partner Project Manager (focus Zalando Plus campaigns) - ZMS

THE ROLE & THE TEAM

Within ZMS' sales unit we are working with a variety of partners from the fashion and beauty industry and consult them in terms of marketing service to help them achieve their business goals on Zalando. The success of our sales teams is measured in revenue generation, solution adoption and client satisfaction.

As part of our offering and in close collaboration with internal teams we are also executing product drop campaigns to promote Zalando's membership program with exclusive benefits (Zalando Plus). Given the high complexity and importance of these activations we are looking for dedicated resources to lead the planning and execution of bespoke marketing campaigns to promote the benefit of zPlus (e.g. early access to highly relevant products) and to allow our brand partners to be seen in a highly relevant environment and context.

We're looking for a Partner Project Manager to work on eye level with our partners, sales teams and internal stakeholders as the expert in managing Zalando Plus early access product drops. In this role you will be responsible for managing a defined set of campaigns in close collaboration with teams supporting you in the execution (e.g. business development, account management, product teams). If this sounds like fun, we'd love to hear from you!
