Partner with CEO and CTO to align logistics operations with technology platforms and routing systems
Build, mentor, and structure a high-impact operations team with clear incentives and growth paths
Optimize fulfillment, shopper workforce management, and last-mile delivery across 60+ cities
Solve problems directly on the ground when needed and drive a culture of proactive problem-solving
Ensure strong performance management using data, analytics, and customer experience insights
Develop scalable playbooks and SOPs to support new city launches and operational expansion
Requirements
Extensive experience in logistics, operations, or supply-chain leadership
Background in gig-economy / fleet-based operations (rideshare, food delivery, courier, etc.)
Strong strategic and analytical skill set, with proven KPI ownership
Leadership style that combines accountability with hands-on involvement
Experience managing and developing multi-city or multi-region operations
Excellent communication and cross-functional collaboration with senior stakeholders
Familiarity with last-mile delivery technologies and marketplace models
