Zalando fulfills more than a hundred million customer orders every year and volumes are increasing. Fulfillment Core within Zalando builds and operates systems that are at the core of Zalando's platform strategy and ensure timely, efficient, and correct delivery of every one of our customers' 185+ million orders every year.

At Zalando and in Fulfillment Core, we are committed to providing equal opportunities for career advancement and promotions to all employees, following our inclusiveness principles. We welcome applications for both full-time and part-time positions, as we believe in providing flexible work options to support our employees' diverse needs.

Please note this job description refers to two separate positions in our team, therefore looking for 2 individuals.

As a Principal Product Manager on the Simulation and Capacity Management teams within Fulfillment Core, you will play a key role in developing products that support two essential capabilities across Fulfillment Core and Logistics.

The Capacity Management pillar is a group of senior applied scientists and engineers, who work closely with the operations team to automate warehouse capacity planning, ensuring fair and optimized resource allocation between different Zalando propositions. As a Principal Product Manager for the Capacity Management team, you will lead the effort in automating warehouse capacity planning with a goal of enabling a more fine-grained, prescriptive fulfillment process.

Simulation is a team of applied scientists and engineers dedicated to developing the platform that allows for the exploration, evaluation, and refinement of every scenario in the logistics network. This capability empowers the organization to understand fulfillment tradeoffs and take better decisions to optimize the order fulfillment and achieve strategic KPIs.

As the Principal Product Manager for Simulation, you will lead the development of capabilities and tooling aimed to enable the fast and precise exploration and testing of the complex scenarios in the customer fulfillment domain.
