Manage seasonal demand: Execute targeted supply plans for peak and seasonal trading periods to stay ahead of customer and partner requirements.
Optimise onboarding processes: Partner with the Supply and Rider Onboarding teams to iterate processes, eliminate operational bottlenecks, and refine demand forecasting.
Enhance the rider experience: Collaborate with the Content & Engagement team to improve the rider value proposition and act as the subject matter expert for onboarding systems.
What You’ll Need to Thrive

Autonomy and adaptability: A self-starter mindset with the ability to work solo, use your own initiative, and adapt quickly to changing field conditions and priorities.
Stakeholder communication: Strong empathetic listening and communication skills, with the ability to influence diverse internal teams and external rider applicants.
Logistical flexibility: A valid UKI driving licence and a willingness to travel extensively, including early mornings and late evenings, to support field operations.
