About this role

Are you passionate about driving impactful service transformation across global markets? As an Operations Excellence Program Manager, you will be pivotal in executing large-scale programs that optimise operations and experience, and scale service delivery across 17 markets in APAC, Europe, and Turkey. Your mission is to ensure that "Excellence" isn't just a goal, but a scalable, measurable, and sustainable reality across our entire service ecosystem.

You will work closely with leadership to drive initiatives that enhance operational and cost efficiency, improve the experience of customers, riders, and vendors, standardise best practices while safeguarding local nuances, and support service transformation through structured, data-driven initiatives. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a high-performing team, contributing directly to the company’s global growth and success.

Program Management Lead high-impact programs that drive operational efficiency, customer experience, vendor experience, and scalable growth by planning, executing, monitoring, and ensuring timely and high-quality delivery. Develop clear program goals, milestones, and success criteria for assigned POCs, ensuring alignment with broader business strategy. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to manage timelines, risks, and resources, ensuring program objectives are met on time and within budget.

Use project management tools to track progress, escalate issues, and report on key KPIs to leadership and stakeholders. Prioritise workstreams, coordinate dependencies, and provide guidance, feedback, and course correction throughout the project lifecycle. Monitor feedback from stakeholders and team members to adjust plans and ensure continuous progress throughout the change journey. Implement new initiatives to meet and go beyond defined goals.

Project-Based Leadership & Team Enablement Operate in a matrix environment, translating strategy into execution while leading cross-functional teams through influence rather than formal hierarchy. Act as a program-level leader for assigned POCs from OPEX, local markets, or functional teams for the duration of initiatives. Provide guidance and support to teams within OPEX and stakeholders, helping them navigate complex projects and achieve functional and organisational goals.
