Within our Flagship Accounts Unit, you will steer the success of Europe’s most recognizable fashion and sports brands as they scale their Digital Partner Programs.

As we continue to grow, we’re looking for new colleagues who share our passion. Love what you do - do what you love. Join Tradebyte, an independent company within the Zalando Group!
In this role, you will be the right hand of the Head of Strategy, navigating the space between the Management Board’s high-level vision and the reality of a scaling organization. This position is a high-visibility role with a focus on long-term impact.
Strategic Deliverables: Craft high-impact proposals and presentations for the Board and shareholders, ensuring essential messages are communicated clearly.
Group Interaction: Act as a key link to the Zalando Group, contributing to the group strategy refresh and providing Tradebyte-specific analysis (approx. 20% of the role).

Program Orchestration: Support the management of large-scale initiatives, translating objectives into actionable plans and identifying obstacles.
You have a minimum of 3 to 4 years of professional experience working within a high-growth SaaS/technology environment or a top-tier management consultancy.

You are a pragmatic problem solver: you can break down complex issues using clear logic and frameworks, identifying root causes and recommending actionable solutions rather than just spotting problems.
You can "zoom out" from daily tasks to ensure your work always aligns with the broader company strategy, considering long-term opportunities and potential risks.
You know how to build trust-based partnerships across different departments, convincing others by integrating diverse perspectives into a unified narrative.
You have a hands on attitude, and possess a high degree of ownership.
