As the Senior HR Business Partner for Lounge by Zalando, you will collaborate closely with business leaders across our Lounge Demand, Markets & Sales, and Customer-Facing Applications teams. You will play a key role in influencing all people-related topics, including organisational design, employee engagement, retention, and fostering a high-performance culture.
Lounge by Zalando is an online shopping club for fashion and lifestyle products across Europe. We offer our members daily, time-limited sale campaigns with discounts of up to 75% off the recommended retail price. However, Lounge by Zalando is so much more than discounts - we turn Explore Mode: ON. We take our customers on a treasure hunt, and showcase great deals from sought-after labels to niche brands, from famous international names to trendy luxury brands. Our customers are always on the hunt for the best products at the best prices. Working with our brand partners, we're pioneering innovative supply-chain and production processes and offer them an impactful and smart solution, creating a new way to shop for fashion - and a new way to sell it. Join the Lounge team, and turn your explore mode on!
