Job description

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.
