YOUR MISSION

We are looking for an Area Operations Manager to join our Team, who will be in charge of improving and optimizing courier fleet metrics and performances across the cities within the
Area assigned. This role will require a mix of operational experience, stakeholder management, analytical skills, and creativity to tackle different challenges.

• Collaborate closely with all the internal stakeholders from other departments (Sales, Expansion, Account Managers...) to plan, execute, and monitor projects related to operations and the couriers contribution to user experience.

• Analyze daily and weekly operation metrics with a macro view of the long-term success of the city, having a complete understanding of the local supply situation at all times.

• Think out of the box to bring new ideas of process improvements that will be game changer to ensure the best user experience related to couriers.

• Experience in startups, technological platforms, or the on-demand industry is a plus.
