Job description

GSM (Green SM) is one of Europe's most exciting new mobility companies - a vertically integrated operator with successful launches across multiple markets, now expanding into Europe. GSM's parent company manufactures the vehicles, and GSM deploys them as ride-share mobility, giving us end-to-end control from vehicle to road.

We're looking for a Setup Team Leader to join the European setup team and help build the business from the ground up: vehicles, depots, and charging infrastructure, plus supporting other teams through launch and scale-up.

This is a high-ownership, execution-focused role - fast-paced, structured, and commercially minded. You'll manage the team doing the setup work and help write the blueprint for GSM's EU expansion, with real accountability and impact from day one.

Responsibilities

• Manage a team of setup specialists - track progress against schedule, identify bottlenecks, troubleshoot, and coach
• Report directly to the EU Setup Manager, with daily and weekly progress reporting
• Support specialists through the internal approval process for smaller cost items and contracts
• Review and manage contracts alongside specialists to meet key deadlines
• Follow up with other departments to keep them on track against shared schedules

What We’re Looking For

• Project management experience, ideally in construction or engineering
• A demonstrated track record managing high-performing teams against tight schedules, with strong coaching ability
• Comfort navigating ambiguity, and skill in breaking complex problems into clear, manageable tasks
• A fast-paced, execution-focused working style
• Ability to work cross-functionally and manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
• A reliable operator others can depend on

Why GSM

• Be part of the founding European setup team and grow with us as we expand
• Backed by Vietnam's largest company, with the growth trajectory of a fast-scaling European startup
• Real decision-making authority with tangible, visible impact
• Learn alongside counterparts across other markets
• Help build the future of green transport in Europe
