Description

If you’re here, it’s because you’re looking for an exciting ride. A ride that will fuel up your ambitions to take on a new challenge and stretch yourself beyond your comfort zone. We’ll deliver a non-vanilla culture built on talent, where we work to amplify the impact on millions of people, paving the way forward together. Not your usual app. We are the fastest-growing multi-category app connecting millions of users with businesses, and couriers, offering on-demand services from more than 170,000 local restaurants, grocers and supermarkets, and high street retail stores. We operate in more than 1500 cities across 23 countries. Together we revolutionise the way people connect with their everyday needs, from delivering essentials to connecting our ecosystem of users through innovative solutions powered by technology. For us, every day is filled with purpose. What makes our ride unique? 🤝 Our culture and strong values. 💪 Our career development philosophy. 🤝 Our commitment to being a force for good. We have a vision: Building the largest marketplace in your city, to give access to anything in minutes. And this is where your ride starts. YOUR MISSION Glovo’s QCommerce business is one of the most exciting and fastest-growing bets in our journey to give everyone easy access to anything in their cities. As Director of QCommerce, you’ll lead the transformation of how millions of people shop for everyday essentials — from groceries to household items — delivered in minutes. You won’t be inheriting a playbook — you’ll be writing it. You’ll own the full strategy, P&L, and execution of one of Glovo’s key growth engines, shaping its vision, team, and performance from the ground up. This is not a maintenance role — it’s a builder’s mission. You’ll be balancing growth with profitability, speed with quality, and people with performance. You’ll work cross-functionally with our brightest minds — from Product and Marketing to Operations and Finance — to scale the business sustainably and make Glovo the most loved QCommerce brand in your market. If you’re hungry for a role where your decisions directly move the needle, your leadership shapes teams, and your ideas turn into actions at lightning speed — this is your ride. Because here, impact isn’t a KPI — it’s a way of working. And in QCommerce, the pace of change is only matched by the scale of your ambition. THE JOURNEY Define and own the QCommerce strategy for Romania, setting a clear vision and direction for category growth, profitability, and customer experience across multiple retail verticals. Translate strategy into tangible results — leading the execution of commercial, operational, and marketing initiatives that directly impact top-line growth and customer satisfaction. Take full P&L ownership — ensuring every business decision drives sustainable value creation, balancing growth ambition with disciplined financial management. Lead and develop a high-performing team, setting a high bar for performance, autonomy, and accountability. Build future-ready leaders through active coaching, feedback, and empowerment. Invest in talent development, creating clear career paths, driving engagement, and fostering an ownership mindset that enables individuals to perform at their best. Accelerate commercial excellence by strengthening key retailer and supplier partnerships, optimizing assortment, pricing, and promotional strategies to deliver best-in-class availability and margins. Leverage Retail Media as a growth engine, partnering with global and local brands to unlock new revenue streams, strengthen brand visibility, and enhance Glovo’s retail ecosystem. Champion operational excellence, using data and insights to identify opportunities, streamline processes, and drive executional rigor across all QCommerce activities. Collaborate cross-functionally with HQ, Marketing, Product, and Finance teams to align priorities, unlock efficiencies, and ensure seamless delivery of the QCommerce roadmap. Act as a strategic business partner to the Regional GM and senior leadership, influencing company-wide decisions and representing QCommerce in strategic forums. Champion Glovo’s culture and values in every decision - balancing speed with care, ownership with collaboration, and ambition with humility. WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE RIDE 10+ years of experience in high-growth, fast-paced environments such as startups, scale-ups, consulting, investment banking, or private equity, ideally combined with operational or commercial leadership roles. Proven track record of owning and scaling a P&L — driving revenue growth, optimizing profitability, and building sustainable business models. Strong strategic thinking and analytical skills, with the ability to translate data and insights into actionable business decisions. Deep commercial acumen — skilled in negotiation, category management, and partnership development with retailers, suppliers, and brands. Experience leading high-performing teams, with a demonstrated ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent in dynamic, demanding environments. Exceptional stakeholder management and influencing skills — capable of aligning senior leaders, cross-functional partners, and external stakeholders around common goals. Bias for action and entrepreneurial spirit — thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and builds from zero to one with resilience and focus. Strong communication and storytelling skills, able to translate complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives for internal and external audiences. Fluency in English & Romanian required Individuals representing diverse profiles, and abilities, encompassing various genders, ethnicities, and backgrounds, are less likely to apply for this role if they do not possess solid experience in 100% of these areas.
