About the Job:
We are seeking a highly analytical and creative Operations Specialist to join our mobility marketplace team. This is a role for a "numbers person" who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty on the ground. You will be responsible for the health of our marketplace, identifying trends before they happen, and executing growth strategies that combine hard data with creative marketing awareness. The ideal candidate is a self-initiator who can bridge the gap between global strategy and local nuances, leading the team toward ambitious growth targets with a logical, yet empathetic approach to decision-making.
Key Responsibilities
- Monitor and manage the daily health of the mobility marketplace.
- Identify supply-demand imbalances and emerging trends through deep-dive data analysis.
- Build and maintain automated dashboards to track KPIs.
- Proactively suggest and implement corrective or preventive actions to ensure marketplace stability.
- Develop and own the growth roadmap for your specific category.
- Apply a "growth mindset" to identify untapped market opportunities and user segments.
- Translate data insights into actionable experiments to drive category expansion.
3. Cross-Functional Leadership
- Collaborate with marketing teams to design campaigns that resonate with the local user base while maintaining brand standards.
- Act as a key liaison between local operations and global product/strategy teams.
- Serve as a team player who can lead and inspire peers toward common goals.
4. Logical & Nuanced Decision Making
- Make number-driven decisions while considering "on-ground" realities (traffic patterns, local regulations, driver sentiment).
- Communicate complex data findings and operational needs clearly to stakeholders at all levels.
- Operate as a self-starter who can take a project from an idea to full execution with minimal supervision.
Qualifications & Requirements
- Education: Bachelor’s Degree in a related field
- Technical Skills: Advanced Google Sheets (complex formulas, pivot tables, automation) and preferably knowledge in SQL
- Experience: 3-4 years of experience in a data-driven operations role, preferably within a marketplace or tech-enabled environment
- Marketing Knowledge: Knowledge of digital marketing platforms (Meta Ads Manager, etc.) is an advantage.
The Ideal Candidate
- Analytical + Creative: You can build a SQL query in the morning and brainstorm a creative marketing hook in the afternoon.
- Number-Driven: You don't make guesses; you make informed hypotheses based on data.
- Executor: You have a bias for action and a track record of finishing what you start.
- Collaborator: You enjoy working with diverse teams and can navigate the complexities of a global organization.
