Job description

Deine Rolle im Team

• At Rohlik, we own our end-to-end operations - from in-house technology and automated distribution centers to last-mile delivery. Delivering over 20,000 fresh and supermarket products same-day requires an operating model built on precision, cutting-edge automation, and data-driven decision-making.
• As an Associate Product Owner in Last Mile (internal title: Process Manager), you'll take ownership of a defined operational process in our courier services and be responsible for it from a product perspective: understanding how it works on the floor, deciding what to improve, writing clear requirements for developers, and making sure what ships actually works for the people using it. You'll be supported by the Product Owner and Head of Product and grow your scope as you prove yourself.
• Own one operational process (courier systems) end to end from the product side.
• Depending on the project scope, you can spend time on the floor with site teams to understand pain points and gather requirements.
• Translate them into user stories with clear acceptance criteria, and keep the backlog prioritized.
• Work daily with developers in an agile team: define, refine, test, accept, and roll out.
• Track a small set of KPIs for your process and use data to decide what to fix next.
• Prepare simple SOPs and support site teams when new features go live.

Unser Angebot

• Fair & competitive pay - A strong fixed salary with transparent rules. No hidden bonus games, your contribution is valued clearly.
• Daily meal support - You'll receive €4/day in meal support for the company canteen to enjoy a warm lunch and keep your energy high.
• Life-friendly flexibility - Hybrid work options (depending on role), trust-based collaboration, and paid vacation days above statutory minimums.
• Grow with Gurkerl - We are scaling fast and you can grow with us just as quickly. Learn, own projects, and create real impact.
• Recognition & culture - Your efforts matter. Celebrate colleagues and be recognized through Bonusly credits for outstanding teamwork.
• Wellbeing & activity - Supportive working environment with opportunities for team events, challenges, and an office culture focused on wellbeing.
• Xtra membership - Free Gurkerl Xtra membership and exclusive benefits.
• Referral rewards - Help us hire great talent and enjoy rewards aligned with group referral policy.
• Team spirit - A friendly, supportive team that acts quickly, helps each other, and celebrates together.
