YOUR WORK-LIFE OPPORTUNITY:

As a Senior Operations Project Manager, you will step away from generic corporate management and take full ownership of the largest, highest-impact strategic initiatives inside Glovo Kazakhstan's Operations team. This role is designed for a heavyweight, autonomous executor who thrives in the real physical world of logistics excellence, quick-commerce, and high-intensity fleet operations. You will directly manage our complex 3PL network, build out our hyper-growth Logistics as a Service (LaaS) business vertical with major enterprise players, and completely revolutionize our Partner Operations metrics.

This role operates with absolute autonomy and carries a fast-track progression track to transition into a manager and head-level position (Head of Operations) in the future. If you look at the On-demand delivery space and see a blank canvas for structural optimization rather than just software bugs, this is the ride of your life.

BE A PART OF A TEAM WHERE YOU WILL:

• Drive LaaS Direction: Take end-to-end strategic ownership of our Logistics as a Service vertical, scaling operations with our largest partners in Kazakhstan

• Scale the 3PL Ecosystem: Strategically lead and manage our Third-Party Logistics (3PL) partners, shifting them from simple settlement processors to proactive, high-performing fleet management companies responsible for courier acquisition, retention, and strict compliance

• Own Partner Operations Excellence: Hyper-focus on user experience metrics at the partner level, optimizing crucial performance bottlenecks like partner’s Preparation Time and avoidable waiting time (aWT) of couriers

• Operate inside a High-Bar Autonomy Framework: Act without regular day-to-day supervision. You will identify process cracks, establish operational protocols, and execute rapid mitigations under extreme saturation or seasonal crises (such as bad weather operations)

• Lead Strategic Negotiations: Own commercial and operational negotiations with major accounts, distributors, and external providers to secure cost savings and improve the bottom-line P&L

YOU HAVE:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a technical discipline (e.g. Engineering, Economics, Computer Science, Business Administration or similar)

• 2–4 years of robust project management experience inside high-velocity operational environments (e.g., foodtech aggregators, quick-commerce, retail logistics hubs, on-demand express delivery). Pure software or IT project management backgrounds are not highly relevant for this hands-on, ground-level logistics role

• Exceptional capability in handling external vendors, structural pushbacks, and building long-term contractual frameworks

• A data-driven mentality with strong analytical skills: taking decisions based on data and using good business judgment when necessary

• Problem-solving skills and hands on attitude: no problem is too small or too big

• You're an owner, you have a natural bias for action, always pushing for things to happen and result oriented

• Comfortable working in a high growth and high-performance start-up with a fast pace

• Excellent stakeholder management. Experience interacting effectively at multiple levels of the organization is highly valued

• You manage your workload efficiently, juggle multiple priorities, and stay on top of follow-ups

• Proficiency in English, written and oral
