Zalando careers – internship and work experience
The job market can be competitive and sometimes you need to have work experience to gain work experience, which seems like a trap, we know. But have no fear, this is where internships and work experience or student programmes come in: you get to try out a job and enhance your CV without committing to a permanent position. As a growing, trend-led fashion company, Zalando is always on the lookout for bright new talent to help it stay ahead of the curve – and an internship is a brilliant entry point.
What does Zalando do?
Based in Berlin, Zalando is an online fashion and lifestyle platform with around 7,000 big and independent brands. It has 50 million active customers and operates in a number of locations across Europe.
What can I do at Zalando?
In an internship or student role, you can gain broad experience across Zalando’s six business areas:
- Business Development
- Fashion
- Customer Care
- Logistics
- Technology
- Retail
While Zalando is a great place for people with fashion, marketing or merchandising expertise, there are also plenty of other roles. For example, maybe you have an interest in fashion but are looking for a less fashion-specific experience. Or perhaps you just want to try out the fashion industry and see if it’s a good fit but want transferable work experience just in case it isn’t.
Whether it’s customer service, a sales assistant position or behind-the-scenes roles like warehouse and IT support, you can trial working in fashion while also learning skills needed across many other sectors.
