Description

Data is a critical pillar of Zalando's product development process, and the Product Analytics team advocates for its quality, consistency, and strategic usage. We are seeking a data-driven and user-centric professional to drive the strategy, evaluation, and optimization of our digital products. In this role, you will define how we value user interactions, measure success, and tie product features directly to overarching business outcomes. You will lead the implementation of a standardized cross-organizational product performance measurement framework and own the technical architecture for user value scoring. This role involves advancing the content flywheel into a measurable insight engine and leading the engineering of advanced data solutions and analytics pipelines.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in product analytics, ideally within a large-scale e-commerce or product-led environment.
  • Strong analytical and technical background with high proficiency in SQL and deep experience using Python or R for advanced analytics and building scalable data pipelines.
  • Expert in A/B testing frameworks, user behavior analytics, experiment design, and managing complex attribution or scoring systems.
  • Dual understanding of funnel performance, mapping upper-funnel engagement metrics to lower-funnel transactional performance.
  • Hands-on experience applying advanced causal inference methodologies (e.g., Propensity Score Matching, Difference-in-Differences, Synthetic Controls) when randomized controlled trials are unfeasible.
  • Proven leadership capability to excel in highly ambiguous environments, shift organizational models, and lead through influence to align senior executives.
  • Master storyteller with data, confident in communicating complex technical frameworks into simple, actionable strategic recommendations.
  • Experience working with modern data visualization and analytics tools to scale data-driven accountability.
