With over 3,000 EPVs (Electric Picnic Vehicles), we deliver groceries daily in over 100 German cities.

As Senior Operations Manager, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the satisfaction of our customers and employees.

Data analysis: With strong data analysis and problem-solving skills, you identify and resolve process problems.

Change Management: You foster a culture of continuous improvement by using Lean methods, facilitating problem-solving workshops, and empowering cross-functional teams to identify and implement process improvements themselves.

Team leadership: With natural leadership qualities, you promote bottom-up engagement and the daily involvement of production sites and employees to drive Kaizen and continuous improvement.

Improvement: You demonstrate a consistent approach to the 5S principles (cleanliness, organization, etc.) and bring experience in training, coaching, and implementing these improvement standards.
