About ZigZag Global 

If you’ve made an online return with Zara, Selfridges or New Look, then you may already be familiar with ZigZag and our award-winning SaaS platform.   In 2023, £2bn worth of returns was processed via ZigZag’s retailer returns portals and related carrier services.   Our solution leads the way in providing cost-effective, customer-friendly retail returns across the globe.  

We’re passionate about innovating the returns and post-purchase experience for our clients and their customers, helping our clients to become more sustainable and profitable in the process.

In March 2021, ZigZag was acquired by Global Blue, an industry leader in tax-free shopping.  This strengthened our reach across the global retail industry and allowed us to continue to do what we do best, help retailers manage returns while providing a great customer experience.

Our sustainable and highly effective returns solutions are making a genuine difference to the retail industry, so come and join the ambitious and caring team, intent on building the world’s most innovative, and helpful returns experience possible.
