Jobbeschreibung

YOUR MISSION AT VOI

As Head of Operations (Germany), you will report directly to the General Manager – Germany and lead the full Fleet Operations organisation — a team of around 280 people across multiple warehouses and field sites, spanning several management layers — that keeps our fleet available, reliable and on the street across the country. This is a Senior operational leadership role in our biggest market, where you will be managing the leaders who drive city-level execution across every market, and hold full strategic, budgetary, and P&L responsibility for operations across Germany.

Role

A hands‑on leadership role for someone who is energised by scale, complexity and a demanding operational environment. You won't do it from behind a dashboard — you'll set the direction, build the team that delivers it, and step in when it matters. This will include:

• Operational leadership at scale: Leading a large, distributed workforce through several layers of management — setting clear standards, creating accountability that cascades from the warehouse floor to the leadership team, and building a high-performance culture across sites.
• Strategy & Planning: Working closely with the General Manager to own the long‑term operations strategy, the budget, and a clear plan for each city.
• Operational Excellence: Continuously optimising workflows and costs, monitoring KPIs and driving immediate corrective action with your team when performance slips.
• Workforce Management: Driving demand‑driven capacity planning and recruiting the right talent, so staffing and fleet availability meet operational SLAs at the lowest cost.
• Physical Asset Management: Owning and optimising vehicles, warehouses, facilities and operational equipment — maximising utilisation and lifespan to keep the fleet moving and revenue flowing.
• 3PL & Vendor Performance: Managing third‑party providers to a clear performance standard, holding them accountable on cost, quality and availability.
• Health & Safety: Ensuring a safe working environment across all facilities and field operations, in close partnership with the central Operations team.
• Cross‑functional collaboration: Partnering with the regional Operations and Market Development teams, the wider Fleet organisation, and the Head of Operations Strategy — who owns the analytical, planning and continuous‑improvement agenda alongside you.

What You Need To Embark

We are looking for a seasoned operational leader who leads from the front — someone who combines a hands‑on approach with sound commercial judgement, thrives in a fast‑moving, physically distributed operation, and knows how to develop and empower the leaders beneath them. In addition, we believe the right person has:

• 8+ years in operational leadership (mobility, logistics, last‑mile, q‑commerce, warehousing or a related field), including proven experience leading large, distributed blue‑collar and field teams through multiple layers of management across several cities or regions.
• A track record of building accountability and performance culture at scale — not just managing a team, but developing the managers who manage the teams.
• Solid experience owning budgeting, forecasting, cost performance and P&L for a sizeable operation.
• Strong, practical understanding of operational models — including 3PL set‑ups and workforce/capacity planning.
• Demonstrated ability to drive complex, cross‑functional initiatives and influence senior stakeholders.
• Comfort using data and AI tools to steer an operation — enough to ask the right questions and act on the answers (this role leads the operation; deep analytics sits with the Operations Strategy team).
• Bachelor's degree in operations, engineering, business or similar.
• Full professional proficiency in English and German.
