The Position

BER3 is our Berlin flagship - and the site where we pilot the processes, tools, and automation that later scale across the whole Hive network. We're looking for a Site Lead to own it end-to-end: its people, its performance, its P&L, and its standard of excellence. You'll run a site of ~200 associates across all different areas leading through a team of Area Managers. This is a hands‑on leadership role - you set the standard on the floor, not from a desk. You're first in and last out when it matters, calm under pressure, and you turn problems into proposals.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Own the building end-to-end. Take full accountability for BER3's P&L, productivity, quality, safety and team health. Hitting monthly, quarterly and annual budget targets and treating every cost line and KPI as yours. Flag deviations early with a plan, not a surprise.
• Run safe, high-quality daily operations. Keep associates safe and compliant as your first priority. Own order accuracy, customer NPS and health scores. Be visible on the floor, regular Gemba walks, shift‑start presence during peaks, and time close to the work and the merchants you serve.
• Lead and grow people. Coach your Area Managers with weekly 1:1s, clear growth paths and honest, regular feedback. Build a skills matrix, develop successors, and manage performance in line with our value of caring meritocracy. Keep a motivated team and low churn of your best people.
• Drive improvement and innovation. BER3 is Hive's R&D site, so you'll run it with a try‑fast, learn‑fast mindset, piloting new processes, tools and automation, and turning what works at BER3 into improvements that ship across the network. Bring at least one measurable improvement initiative per quarter.
• Communicate and collaborate. Write clearly (SOPs, incident post‑mortems), present with structure (leadership reviews, all‑hands), and own escalations end‑to‑end: including a fast, structured response on critical (SEV1) incidents. Partner with HQ, the WMS/product team, and merchant‑facing teams.

Your Profile

We are looking for someone who has:

• Several years leading a fulfillment center, warehouse or 3PL operation at scale, with direct P&L ownership
• A genuine hands‑on, people‑first leadership style and a never‑give‑up attitude
• Strong analytical skills, comfortable with data, able to read a P&L and act on it
• A proactive, solution‑first problem‑solver who surfaces issues early and brings suggestions
• A proven track record of building and developing teams, and of working with a diverse, multicultural workforce
• Fluent English; German is a strong plus
• Nice to have: Lean / Six Sigma or similar continuous‑improvement experience; familiarity with WMS systems and an interest in automation/AI in fulfillment; experience standing up new processes or sites
