We always challenge THE STATUS QUO

At ZEAL, we work hard to ensure our values underpin everything we do. We foster a culture of innovation and encourage our people to challenge the status quo. Because we believe in open and honest communication, e.g. via regular updates on relevant topics by our management. And we are committed to continuous learning and collaboration, which includes a personal development budget, language lessons, career paths and hackathons. We love a vibrant atmosphere and celebrate our achievements through our weekly kitchen party, lively events and an appreciative culture.

Say hi to your future COLLEAGUES, MENTORS, FRIENDS

We embrace diversity and work well as a team – but we also allow individuality to shine. You will notice that we have a wide range of age and experience levels, and we are quite a select group of few but excellent people. So we work pretty close together, and some of us also provide – or make use of – individual mentorships, which particularly helps our newbies with a smooth onboarding.

 

This makes us VALUEABLE

Act like an Owner
We are empowered to act like real owners, which means that we make informed decisions by understanding customer needs, opportunity and risk across ZEAL. We get shit done and hold ourselves accountable for the outcome. We stay focused and keep things simple.
Play as a Team
The foundation of our team success is trust and respect – We assume good intentions in our colleague’s words and actions. ZEAL is a safe environment – come as you are. We are transparent, open, and speak our minds even in tough situations. We believe that being humble and showing vulnerability makes us stronger. All of this requires exceptional and diverse people working crossfunctionally.
Be a Game Changer
If you want to change the game, you have to be brave and challenge the status quo. We embrace failures and mistakes along the way. We love crazy new ideas while enjoying the adventure of becoming a best in class e-commerce company and owning the future of lottery.

TGIM: Why we <3 working @ZEAL

We empower great people to act like owners. This sounds great right? This is how we accomplish this: our employees can decide from where they want to work (within Germany/Spain/UK) for their day-to-day work. We have an inviting open office environment based in the beautiful and relaxing Hoheluft district of Hamburg, Germany. In London and Madrid we have rented office spaces in WeWork Offices.

Every team forms team agreements how they want to work together and our employees are encouraged to meet in person as well. Especially for workshops, creative work sessions, team events and our quarterly company events, we come together in person to deepen our connections and have a great time together.

As we are living a culture of outcome and trust, we have rewarded this strength by offering unlimited vacation days to be used each year in agreement with your manager. It means a standard allocation of 30 days each year, with no official limit on additional days each year as long as you are delivering as expected.

Wait there’s more…

Each year you can work remotely from anywhere in the EU/EWR, for up to four weeks per year, in agreement with your manager. Just imagine working remotely from a beautiful beach in Portugal each day for a month a year? If this sounds amazing, that’s because it is!
