Zalando is Europe’s leading online platform for fashion and lifestyle, connecting 50+ million active customers, brands and partners across 25 markets. Our aspiration is to reimagine fashion for the good of all and be a more sustainable platform that is inclusive by design. Product Design at Zalando is a community of 200+ product designers, content designers, and user researchers. 

The Personalization, Recommendations, Search and Browse (PRSB) design team, based in Berlin and Dublin, is creating customer-centric and engaging experiences that adapt to our customer’s needs, interests, intentions and context. We craft innovative personalized experiences that allow our customers to seamlessly discover fashion, beauty and lifestyle inspiration. 

ABOUT THE ROLE 

You are passionate about designing and delivering step changing and scalable customer-centric solutions that leverage the latest technological advances, such as generative AI and machine learning. In order to thrive in this, you will use a wide variety of product design skills and frameworks. While strong foundational UX skills are a must, experience with concept design methods, conducting user research, workshop facilitation, and experience in balancing the big picture with a strong love of craft will help you succeed. 

You will combine product design with new technologies through collaboration, creativity, craft and proactive mindset. You will work closely with and guide other Designers, Engineers, Data Scientists, and Product Managers as well as other stakeholders and teams across Zalando. By exploring innovative solution spaces with an iterative mindset, you’ll make the future tangible to provide direction and fuel the vision for internal teams, customers, and partners. 

As a customer-focused design thought leader and role model, you will contribute to the Zalando Product Design community and the larger European design industry by sharing best practices, mentoring and teaching colleagues, crafting best-in-class solutions, bar-raising in design reviews, and sparking inspiring conversations. 

WE'D LIKE TO MEET YOU IF 

  •  You love designing innovative technology products and place humans at the center of your design process — ensuring that geeky tech and forward-looking experience design always serves real human needs

  • You have worked on ambiguous strategic projects, are able to create clarity amid uncertainty, and can guide team members through such projects

  • You can quickly understand and give structure to new challenges; shape meaningful project briefs, know how to orchestrate quantitative and qualitative user research to collect insights and test hypotheses, and align diverse business stakeholders behind a common vision

  • You are happy working hands-on from sketching user flows through wireframing high-fidelity interaction design patterns

  • You work strategically through your hands-on example and also, for example, by imagining a customer experience vision, designing design principles and delivering design R&D

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
