Job Description:

At Tradebyte, we work with the biggest players in e-commerce - from trendsetting fashion brands to major online retailers. Our goal is to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, supported, and empowered. 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. You'll join a high-performance, cross-functional team that thrives on an open work structure and an incomparable spirit of collaboration. We offer flexible work schedules, professional development opportunities, and a real commitment to work-life balance. We embrace diverse perspectives and ensure that every voice is heard and respected, because you're unique and that matters to us. 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.

Job Responsibility:

  • Craft high-impact proposals and presentations for the Board and shareholders

  • Take full responsibility for specific business development initiatives, such as new market entries, building solid business cases with clear KPIs
  • Support the management of large-scale initiatives, translating objectives into actionable plans and identifying obstacles

Requirements:

  • 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 believe that quick, adaptive execution of an imperfect plan is often better than a slow execution of a perfect one. You possess a high degree of ownership and are not stopped by shifting circumstances
  • 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
  • You are strong in stakeholder management - you know to build trust-based partnerships across different departments and the Management Board
  • You have professional fluency in English
  • fluency in German is a strong advantage

Nice to have:

fluency in German
