As Customer Operations Project Manager, you will play a key role in improving and scaling customer operations processes across our international C2B business in Europe.

  • Identify manual, repetitive or inefficient activities and drive automation, AI-driven solutions and process redesign to improve scalability and customer experience
  • Translate operational pain points into structured improvement initiatives, business cases and implementation plans
  • Coordinate projects end-to-end, from process analysis and solution definition to implementation and impact measurement
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Finance, Purchasing, Business Analytics, and Operations teams to drive process improvements and automation initiatives
  • Manage and align multiple stakeholders across HQ and local teams to successfully drive operational initiatives
  • Work closely with local teams across Europe to understand operational realities on the ground, challenge assumptions and ensure solutions are scalable across different market setups
  • Contribute to business scalability by enabling higher operational output with the same effort
