Zalando Sports: Internship program (all genders)

THE ROLE & THE TEAM 

With your internship at Zalando Sports you will be part of reinventing sports retail online. Our customer is at the forefront of our plans and therefore we see the ideal Sports shopping experience as one that is similar to a Sports magazine: inspiring and educating customers about product launches, telling exciting stories about achievements in the world of sports, and guide customers on what to wear for their next big adventure. Be part of this journey! 

As an intern in our organisation, you are assisting our experienced Buyers, Merchandisers and cross-functional teams who are responsible for the quality and strategic impact of our Sports onsite experience, and the corresponding business processes. Your collaborative spirit will shine as you build cross-functional relationships. Take the opportunity to have an impact through improvement suggestions and enthusiasm for innovative ideas! You will be cooperating with various internal stakeholders and have an impact on how we plan and launch exciting assortments and campaigns together with our key partners such as Nike, adidas, Salomon, HOKA, ON, and many more.
