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.

What you’ll do

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

What we are looking for

1–2 years in operations, logistics, e-commerce, or a product/analyst role

Real interest in how software changes physical operations

Comfort with data: Excel is a must, and SQL or BI is a plus

Clear written communication, enough to write a requirement a developer can build from

Some exposure to working with tech teams or agile ways of working

English B2+, and Czech or German is a plus if relevant to the sites

Willingness to travel to sites (20%)

Nice-to-haves:

Basic Lean knowledge (one line, not five tools), Jira or similar, warehouse automation exposure.

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.
