THE ROLE AND THE TEAM

We want to be the most culturally fluent brand on social media in the French-speaking countries; and to do that, we need you. You’ll help make Zalando a dynamic voice in culture, always relevant and responsive to the world around us. We are looking for someone who lives and breathes French culture, influencer marketing and social media. Someone who knows how to spot the signals before they become trends, and how to turn those insights into scroll-stopping content.

As (Senior) Social Media & Influencer Marketing Manager, you’ll play a key role in identifying, shaping, and reacting to cultural moments that matter to our audience. You have a sharp creative eye, are fluent in French pop culture, and know how to deal with influencers and craft social-first storytelling that resonates across platforms from scratch. This role requires someone hands-on, proactive, and excited by the fast-paced, real-time nature of social.

We’re looking for someone with their finger on the pulse when it comes to trends and innovation who can bring something new to the table. This is a fast paced role for someone who can work to produce first-class content and ensure its high-quality in an ever changing landscape.

You’ll collaborate closely with creators, agencies, and internal stakeholders to bring culture to life in our content-reacting quickly, but always strategically. With the internal teams and external agencies, you’ll be planning and steering social native content that turns the wider initiatives of the business into digital stories that connect with our audience.

This role is based in Berlin and relocation is mandatory.
