More than 20 years ago, zooplus was one of the first to bring the pet category into the world of eCommerce. Today, we stand strong as Europe’s leading online pet platform, delivering moments of happiness to more than 9 million pet parents each year.

Product Assortment Management:

• Conduct regular reviews of assortment performance, employing product lifecycle management techniques to optimize the range within your area of responsibility, including decisions on product listings and delisting.

Supplier Negotiation and Account Growth:

• Negotiate supplier-funded promotions, marketing activities, and other terms, including annual discussions, with a primary focus on achieving positive account development through new customer acquisition and retaining existing customers.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams and service departments, such as sales, marketing, supply chain, accounting, and others, sharing relevant insights and fostering effective communication to achieve common objectives.
