THE ROLE & THE TEAM

Where will Partner Platform’s commercial growth come from? Where do our partners have the highest potential to grow their business? Are we investing enough to engage our partners? How do our partners react to the strategic actions we take on them? How are our customers impacted by these changes? These are among the most important questions at Zalando Partner Platform today. The Partner Service Economics team is looking for innovative, passionate, and results-oriented Applied Scientist to answer these questions. You will have the opportunity to contribute to the long-run outlook for Zalando’s Partner Platform business and help make strategic decisions at the highest level. The successful candidate will be able to formalize problem definitions, build models using Zalando’s tech setup systems, and develop cutting-edge solutions for non-standard problems. As a Senior Applied Scientist, you will also coach less experienced team members by sharing best practices in problem-solving, modeling, and soft skills.

WHAT WE’D LOVE YOU TO DO (AND LOVE DOING)

• Develop new forecasting models or improve existing approaches using scalable techniques.
• Extract data for analysis and model development from large, complex datasets to explain demand trends.
• Closely work with other applied science and engineering teams to build/reuse scalable, efficient systems that implement prototypes in production.
• Refine problem definitions from informal business requirements and communicate technical solutions to senior business leaders.
• Drive innovation and best practices in applied research across Zalando’s research community.
