THE ROLE & THE TEAM
Europe may seem like a single market, but it's actually a mix of diverse local markets, each with its own language, currency, payment methods, and shopping habits. For brands and retailers, expanding across countries means navigating multiple sales channels, logistics providers, and evolving consumer expectations—a complex challenge that requires smart solutions.
That’s where ZEOS, Zalando’s B2B brand, comes in. We simplify e-commerce with an operating system that integrates logistics, smart software, and scalable services, making cross-border selling effortless.
Backed by Zalando’s expertise in fulfilling orders for over 50 million customers, ZEOS is not just bigger, but smarter—optimizing stock, deliveries, and sustainability by reducing unnecessary shipments and packaging.
