The Lounge by Zalando Marketing team is seeking a Tech SEO Manager to help scale our organic search infrastructure across 20+ European markets. You'll join a team of two responsible for global SEO within a wider Marketing organisation, working hands-on at the intersection of technical SEO, engineering, and AI-native automation.
Your focus will be diagnosing and fixing technical SEO infrastructure, building automation pipelines that eliminate manual work, and partnering with engineering to ship scalable solutions all in service of growing Lounge by Zalando's organic presence and attracting new customers across all markets.
This role is Berlin based and relocation is necessary.
Lounge by Zalando is an online outlet for fashion and lifestyle products in 25 European countries.
We offer our members daily, time-limited sale campaigns with discounts of up to 75% off the recommended retail price.
However, Lounge by Zalando is so much more than discounts. Our strength lies in our focus on fashion: from sought-after labels to niche brands, from famous international names to trendy luxury brands, we make sure to meet the fashion taste of all our customers, who are always on the hunt for the best products at the best prices.
Working with our brand partners, we're pioneering innovative supply-chain and production processes and offer them an impactful and smart solution, creating a new way to shop for fashion - and a new way to sell it.
Our motto: Not your average outlet.
Contribute to and execute our technical SEO roadmap (crawl budget, indexation, rendering, architecture, Core Web Vitals, schema) by partnering with engineering to turn strategy into actionable specs.
Conduct log-file analyses to catch crawl, rendering, and indexation gaps at scale, working directly with engineers to prioritize and ship fixes.
Build automation pipelines and MVPs using n8n, Claude, and MCP integrations to streamline monitoring, audit workflows, and support tracking.
Build BigQuery workflows and dashboards to track KPIs, measure business impact, and prioritize initiatives that drive traffic and conversions.
Scale multi-market international SEO by building automated solutions for hreflang, geo-targeting, and market-specific crawling.
Use Python and SQL to validate hypotheses independently while documenting and promoting SEO best practices across the organization.
You have 3+ years of hands-on technical SEO experience with a track record of executing and delivering — not just advising
You have solid proficiency in technical SEO fundamentals: crawl budget, indexation control, rendering, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, and schema.org implementation
You have prior hands-on experience building real automation workflows in n8n or similar tools — you've shipped them, not just experimented with them
You're already comfortable with Claude Code (or similar), as part of your daily workflow, and have hands-on experience connecting LLMs to existing tooling via MCP
You have sufficient Python and SQL literacy to read, validate, debug, and adapt code independently — you use Claude to accelerate but aren't dependent on it to understand what the code does
You can conduct log-file analyses to identify crawl problems, rendering issues, and indexation gaps at scale
You are proficient across the core SEO tooling stack — GSC, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs or Semrush — and are comfortable working within a small, fast-moving team and contributing to a shared roadmap
