INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN

At Zalando, our vision is to be inclusive by design.

What we’d love you to do (and love doing)

• Lead the design and refinement of best‑in‑class workflows for the entire partner lifecycle, including acquisition, contract management, onboarding, and Service Cloud.
• Proactively identify and replace offline processes (like manual spreadsheets or disconnected tools) with integrated Salesforce solutions to ensure a single source of truth.
• Evaluate systemic impact: Assess how new features or process changes affect downstream systems, such as BI reporting or revenue recognition, ensuring no disruption to the ecosystem.
• Drive AI‑enabled innovation: Oversee the functional implementation of cutting‑edge Salesforce technologies, such as Agentforce and Einstein, to automate partner segmentation and drive operational ROI.

Process Governance & Design
