THE ROLE & THE TEAM

As a Customer Relations Expert, you’ll go beyond frontline support to own the resolution of our most complex and sensitive customer cases. This is not just a contact-handling role — it's a critical position at the intersection of customer experience, quality assurance, and continuous improvement. You’ll take the lead on escalated and complex cases, often working outside of standard guidelines to deliver fair, brand-aligned resolutions through close collaboration with internal teams like Legal, Logistics, Payments, and CXM Quality, as well as with our external service providers.

Your focus will be twofold: delivering meaningful outcomes for customers, and driving quality across our operations. This includes in-depth case investigations, reviewing past interactions, providing feedback to our service partners, and identifying opportunities to enhance processes and prevent future issues. If you're empathetic, quality-driven, and thrive in ambiguity, this role offers the chance to make a tangible impact on both customer satisfaction and operational excellence.

INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN

At Zalando, our vision is to be the leading pan-European ecosystem for fashion and lifestyle e-commerce - one that is inclusive by design. We only assess candidates based on qualifications, merit, and business needs. We welcome applications from people of all gender identities, sexual orientations, personal expressions, racial identities, ethnicities, religious beliefs, and disability statuses. We only want to know why you’re great for this role, so please avoid including your picture, age, and marital status in your CV as well.

We want to provide you with a great candidate experience. Please feel free to inform us of any accommodations you may need, so we can best support and assist you throughout the hiring process.
