Influencer Marketing Manager HU, RO & Adriatics (all genders)

THE ROLE & THE TEAM
Our influencer manager for Hungary / Romania & Adriatics (Slovenia, Croatia) will be an important player in making Zalando the starting point for fashion inspiration.

You'll partner with people of influence to drive industry-leading storytelling rich in everything we stand for - trendsetting, diversity, sustainability, inclusivity and innovation. This will establish the next generation of Zalando influencers who disrupt the current landscape, weaving them into the influencer strategy you take ownership of.

Like the very nature of fashion, we need a senior influencer manager who is open to change, who can move quickly and refuses to settle for the status quo. What's in today might be forgotten tomorrow - but you're already thinking about next week. You won't just stay on top of what's already trending, you'll stay ahead.
INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN
At Zalando, our vision is to be the starting point for fashion - one that is inclusive by design. We only assess candidates based on qualifications, merit, and business needs. We welcome applications from people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, personal expressions, racial identities, ethnicities, religious beliefs, and disability statuses. We only want to know why you're great for this role, so please avoid including your picture, age, and marital status in your CV as well.

We want to provide you with a great candidate experience. Please feel free to inform us of any accommodations you may need, so we can best support and assist you throughout the hiring process.

WHY YOU SHOULD BE INTERESTED

• Who's who - and why should we care? You will be forging relationships and an understanding of who's already an industry favourite, who is popular in your local markets and who're the up-and-coming disrupters, shaking the industry one TikTok at a time.
• Act locally, think globally. You will think strategically about how to translate Zalando's global vision for your markets, understanding how to make it work locally but still thinking about the bigger picture. We want to be where fashion starts, for everyone, everywhere.
• Make your mark on your market. You'll help shape the direction of the Hungarian, Romania & Adriatics markets, so you'll know who and what your local audiences care about. Subcultures and localised trends often start in the underground and become mainstream - you'll be the one making it so.
• Understand the business of fashion. Creative thinking and forward thinking is essential, but you'll also be organised and methodical, managing projects from initial outreach and negotiation to 360 concept creation, campaign execution, KPI tracking, budgeting, reporting and analysis.
• Communicate fearlessly. From local agencies to internal teams, you'll be a team player who can show initiative, work to quick deadlines and manage the workload and expectations of stakeholders.

WE'D LOVE TO MEET YOU IF

• You have 4-5 years of relevant work experience within Influencer Marketing, having worked across fashion or culture.
• You can challenge and push - Have we got it wrong? Are we falling behind? Tell us. Your job will be to shape our brand as we move forward, staying ahead of the rest.
• You are committed to diversity and inclusivity - Everyone who works here must share our message of inclusivity and liberation through fashion. You will be an ambassador for this in your output and your internal conduct.
• You have local knowledge - you speak at least one local language from the target markets and English and understand the nuances and distinct flair within all three fashion industries and cultures.
