Senior Technical Product Manager – Logistics, Optimization

As the world’s pioneering local delivery platform, our mission is to deliver an amazing experience, fast, easy, and to your door. We operate in over 70+ countries worldwide, powered by tech, designed by people. As one of Europe’s largest tech platforms headquartered in Berlin, Germany, Delivery Hero is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange since 2017 and is part of the MDAX stock market index.

We are on the lookout for a Senior Technical Product Manager – Logistics & Optimization to join our Logistics team to help us create a fast, reliable and transparent delivery experience. You will be building and evolving the core infrastructure that powers our global routing algorithm – delivering reliable, high‑scale backend services to ensure millions of orders and riders get the most efficient routes every day.

In our Logistics Team, you’ll tackle high‑impact challenges that make last‑mile delivery efficient, affordable, and sustainable. Your work will directly improve experiences for riders, end customers, and merchants across the globe. Each enhancement you contribute will help Delivery Hero optimize delivery operations, supporting expansion into new areas like grocery and retail.

The Optimization tribe owns the central piece of the Logistics architecture with a set of services responsible for finding the best rider for every order. We enable this by solving the Vehicle Routing Problem at scale, building tools for operations managers, and collaborating closely with the rider app itself which drives the whole experience and provides transparency at all times.

• Own and define the long‑term vision and strategy for several Tier 1 services at the core of the Optimization architecture.
• Create and foster a domain‑wide culture of clarity and alignment: ensure requirements are consistently gathered and all stakeholders (tech, business, and regional) deeply understand the “why” behind your roadmap.
• Craft high‑quality product specifications for complex, interconnected systems, and guide cross‑functional teams to pragmatic, scalable solutions that fit into the broader Logistics platform.
• Use data as a strategic asset: influence KPI and target setting, guide squads to make data‑driven decisions, and proactively identify opportunities to embed ML/DS enhancements into our routing workflows.
• Champion product delivery excellence: ensure work is sliced effectively, dependencies are anticipated and escalated early, timelines are aligned across multiple teams.
• Act as a senior sparring partner to Engineering: translate engineering concepts to business stakeholders, help shape system architecture decisions, and contribute past technical experience to solve new challenges.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in Product Management, with a strong focus on technical, infrastructure, or platform‑level products.
• Proven track record of defining and delivering large‑scale, high‑load distributed systems that are foundational for other services.
• Deep understanding of backend architectures, service dependencies, and routing/optimization systems in complex environments.
• Expert in using data, SQL, experimentation, and analytics to inform decisions, influence KPIs, and validate impact.
• Demonstrated ability to drive cross‑team initiatives, negotiate trade‑offs, and remove blockers across multiple engineering and business organizations.
• Strong communication skills: able to tailor complex concepts to diverse audiences and build trust with senior stakeholders.
• A proactive, ownership‑driven mindset with a passion for raising product quality, evolving strategy, and coaching others.

Nice to have

• Degree in Computer Science or related technical field.
• Experience working closely with Research / Data Science teams, especially on DS or ML‑driven systems.
• Previous work in routing, logistics, or optimization‑heavy problem spaces.
