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.

The Zalando Product Design community brings together 200+ product designers, content designers, and user researchers, each with our own unique mix of skills. We combine empathy, science, and creativity to make engaging and joyful user experiences.

Working in tandem with other design disciplines and connecting the dots between the product experience and Zalando’s broader communications landscape, our content designers/UX writers use words to design experiences you want to have again.

Sitting at the intersection of UX and UI, content strategy, integrated messaging, and localisation, they lead the charge on a variety of missions within a diverse range of business areas. Mix in an ample smattering of behavioural economics, A/B/C tests, as well as engaging and inclusive storytelling, and you’ll find a community that’s building to become Zalando’s central point of copy intelligence.

This one listing represents a variety of openings across programs, products, and domains (even those not published). Feel free to mention a specific interest in your application; we will consider you for all relevant openings.

WHAT THE TEAM IS LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for a Senior Content Designer to write/design/collaborate on key moments across customer journeys, shape our voice and tone across programs, products, and domains, develop engaging, inspiring, and novel experiences as well as support your peers to rethink the way we and our partners create engaging content.

As a member of the central Content Design team, you will collaborate closely with product designers, product managers, user researchers, engineers and other stakeholders in cross-functional teams that have end-to-end responsibility for solving meaningful customer problems — from ideating through prototyping and user testing to bringing features live.

WHAT WE’D LOVE YOU TO DO (AND LOVE DOING)

• Lead the design practice by defining and activating content design principles, leading key initiatives, and delivering remarkable experiences. Act as a customer advocate throughout the development process while/by being a great sparring partner for your fellow designers, product managers, and other design, marketing, and content functions. Shape and advance our voice and tone. Help improve how design operates. Engage with and mentor other (content) designers and give back to the Zalando community by teaching others.

• Discover unmet needs for Zalando products and identify opportunities to make them more powerful and usable. Lead research, define which quant and qual data is to be gathered (and how); help assess whether the problem is worth solving.

• Define copy strategy that influences, expands, and translates customer benefits and product (and) brand strategy into marketable narratives and coherent messaging. Work out holistic customer journeys that your peers can draw from. Work with customer insights to make sure we’re focussing on the right opportunities.

• Design human-centred solutions using language that scales across markets and loc
