Job Description

THE ROLE & THE TEAM

Lounge by Zalando is an online shopping club for fashion and lifestyle products, serving millions of members across 24 European markets. We offer our members daily, time-limited sale campaigns with discounts of up to 75% off the recommended retail price.

Customers sign up with their email addresses and can shop daily curated selections of limited-time promotional deals. Unlike Zalando, we don't operate through a permanent catalog. The campaign model is a crucial differentiator and invites customers to experience Zalando's fashion credibility with the additional elements of surprise and great value for money.

We are looking for a Marketing Manager to join our performance marketing team to own one of the core Paid Search or Paid Social channels. You will sit within the Marketing team reporting to the respective Search or Social Team Lead, and act as the connective tissue between your channel and Lounge's broader marketing, science, martech, and product ecosystem.

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

• P&L ownership of your channel(s) - connecting KPIs (ROAS, CPA) directly to business outcomes: Revenue, Contribution Margin, and Customer Acquisition across 24 markets.
• Campaign execution and optimization across your channel portfolio, from strategy and investment allocation to day-to-day performance management.
• Data-driven investment frameworks that translate Business Unit growth targets into channel-level decisions, with clear weighting for incrementality and long-term customer value.
• Cross-functional contribution - partnering with Applied Science, Analytics, Brand & Creative, Martech, Buying, and Markets & Propositions in planning cycles, technology discussions, and campaign delivery.
• AI and automation adoption across your workflows - from campaign automation and audience signals to data analysis - keeping pace with platform shifts and emerging best practices.
• Accurate interpretation of quantitative and qualitative data into actionable customer insights and channel recommendations.
• Stakeholder communication - presenting channel performance and strategic recommendations clearly to senior marketing leadership.

WE'D LOVE TO MEET YOU IF

• Experience: 2+ years of hands-on performance marketing experience with expertise in at least one of the following: SEA, Google Shopping, DV360, App Install, Apple Search Ads, Smartly, Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, Snap.
• Technical Depth: Strong understanding of feed management, bidding mechanics, pixel/event tracking, and how technical decisions drive auction efficiency and revenue.
• Data Fluency: Advanced proficiency in data-driven decision-making; comfortable in Excel/Google Sheets and at least one BI tool (Tableau, Looker, or equivalent). Basic SQL and/or Python required.
• Commercial Acumen: You connect channel performance to P&L impact and engage credibly in budget discussions.
• AI Fluency: Demonstrated experience applying AI tools and automation to marketing workflows - creative testing, audience modelling, bidding automation, or data analysis - with a drive to experiment and scale.
• Customer-Centric Mindset: You understand what drives membership sign-ups, repeat purchases, and long-term loyalty - not just immediate conversion metrics. You use customer segments and CLV thinking to shape channel strategy.
• Communication & Stakeholder Management: You communicate clearly and in a structured way, tailor the message to the audience, and actively seek feedback to improve your work and blind spots. You build strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders including platform partners (e.g. Google, Meta, TikTok).
