Working Student Labor Relations

**THE ROLE & THE TEAM

We are looking for a working student to support the Labour Relations team, which is part of the Strategic Employee Relations team of the People & Organization department of Zalando SE.

The Labour Relations team is responsible for the trust based and constructive relationship between the employees, the employee representative bodies and the management of Zalando. More specifically, our team supports and promotes the effective communication, collaboration, and mutual respect between the organisation and its Works Councils in Germany.

By joining our team, you will get many insights on the collaboration with employee representation bodies and learn a ton about codetermination (processes) with German Works Councils. You will gain unique experience working with Zalando’s SE Works Councils in an international environment and an engaged team.

INCLUSIVE BY DESIGN

At Zalando, our vision is to be inclusive by design. And this vision starts with our hiring - we do not discriminate on the basis of gender identity, sexual orientation, personal expression, ethnicity, religious belief, or disability status. You are welcome to leave out your picture, age, or marital status from your application. We only assess candidates on their qualifications and merit.

We want to provide you with a great candidate experience. Feel free to inform us of any accommodations you may need, so we can best support you throughout the hiring process.
