Operations Associate

Veloq is the software platform powering the next generation of grocery fulfilment. Born from Rohlik Group's proprietary technology and operational excellence across five European markets, we are now a standalone technology company empowering grocers to transform their warehouse operations and scale their same day e-grocery offering. Our modular platform spans automated picking, e-commerce fulfilment, and last-mile logistics and is built to power online grocery profitably.

Today, Rohlik Group serves 850,000+ customers across Europe using this technology. We have proven it works at scale. Now we are bringing it to the world. We’re only at the beginning of the journey. This is a chance to join a lean team and help build the operations engine, shape how we run and build the business, and scale a category-defining company from the ground up. You will have real ownership over your function, direct access to the CEO, and equity in a company at the beginning of a major growth curve.
