Internship Purchasing | Category Management Bedding (m/f/d)

OTTO is one of the most successful e-commerce companies in Europe. With more than 18 million articles and more than 34,000 brands, otto.de is now one of the leading German online shopping platforms. As a marketplace, we are constantly opening up for other brands and partners and thus continue to grow. Relax? Not our thing! Not yours either? Then come to board and shape the future of e-commerce with us.

Diversity belongs to us, like the Elbe to Hamburg: We stand for openness, respect and tolerance, without If and But. Let's put the sails together – regardless of where you come from, who you love or what you believe in. Because you're unique and that's what we're looking for.

With us you can bring ideas and advance projects, engage in networks for your heart topic and actively shape our corporate culture. Trying things, thinking new, being innovative, growing beyond themselves – this is our mindset. Let's reach something big together. Whether you work on campus or at home. We are the Category Management Team “Bedding” and are responsible for the range of mattresses, beds, topper and other products for a relaxing sleep at OTTO. Together with our suppliers and various interfaces, we continuously develop our range and focus on current market trends and the needs of our customers. Data, market understanding, AI and new technologies play an important role. We use modern analysis and AI tools to identify potentials, make informed decisions and continuously develop processes. Our team will provide you with exciting insights into e-commerce, open cooperation and the opportunity to introduce your own ideas and take responsibility. From the start, you are part of the team: your ideas, your questions and your perspective are explicitly welcome. Many speak of “Homeoffice” – we of “hybrid or mobile work”: You can work remotely up to 50% of your monthly working hours. Our teams, together with their leadership, decide how to balance out local time and mobile work.

You support the “Bedding” team in Category Management with exciting questions about assortments, trends and market potentials. You will help to analyse assortments, prices, competitors and customer needs and help to derive recommendations for the product range design. You’re researching current market and product trends in the Bedding sector and are clearly preparing your results for the team. You work with BI dashboards, AI tools and reporting tools and learn how data-based decisions are made in category management. You will gain practical insights into purchasing processes, supplier appointments and collaboration with different interface areas.
