Our Global Structure
Deliveroo is now part of DoorDash, bringing together teams with even greater reach, scale, and ambition. Depending on your role, you may collaborate with teammates, systems, and leaders across DoorDash and Wolt. Together, we’re unlocking new possibilities as one global team.
The heart of our mission at Deliveroo is to connect consumers, restaurants, shops and riders transforming the way you shop and eat by bringing the neighbourhood to your door.
As a Senior Regional Operations Manager you'll be finding solutions to some of our biggest challenges to deliver a seamless customer experience in the Italian market, thus directly contributing to one of the key pillars of Deliveroo's strategy within the Operations function.
We are looking for a fully-autonomous critical thinker who is able to own a market level area, instrumental in identifying growth & quality objectives, build plans with strong modelling skills, and lead their delivery. This comes with a best in class analytical mindset, deep understanding of the competition and cross-functional influence.
Key responsibilities include:
Own complex logistic and financial strategic initiatives, collaborate with various business units, and contribute to continuous improvement in our delivery network.
Own part of our network efficiency: define market-winning strategies at a hyper-local level, considering factors that make us the most attractive food delivery option, improve service levels across Operations and balance cost priorities with growth and service level delivery. Create models & frameworks to industrialise our monitoring and support our operations.
Improve the customer and rider proposition: join a team dedicated to delivering better outcomes for riders, partners and our customers.
Act as the primary Operations point of contact for local Commercial teams, treating them as internal customers and providing rider-supply and operational expertise.
Qualities we're looking for:
Analytical and impact oriented mindset: "doer" attitude with appetite to solve real-world problems and seeking for short & mid term impact, through data analysis, modelling and innovative solution implementations (eg test and learn approach).
Good communicator with strong stakeholder management skills: become a subject matter expert and trusted advisor through exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills. Ability to write synthetic documents and influence a senior audience.
Insightful, proactive and engaged: capable of both getting "the big picture" (understanding interdependencies and implications of topics with other parts of the business) and deep diving in detailed dynamics at play behind a trend/an anecdote. Proactively collaborates with colleagues across functions and taps into stakeholders' business knowledge to understand trends, and spot opportunities for customer experience improvement. Able to keep track of competition's moves and identify impact and opportunities for our business.
AI-forward mindset: genuine curiosity and appetite for AI tools, comfortable experimenting with them to speed up analysis, modelling and day-to-day workflows. Proactively looks for ways to work smarter with AI, not just faster.
Requirements:
5+ years of experience working in a high-paced and project-based organisation, for example at a tech startup or in management consultancy.
Strong experience in quantitative and qualitative analytics (excel modelling, database crunching) and excellent mastery of Google Suite/Microsoft Office. Knowledge of SQL is a plus.
Strategic Thinking: Strong ability to think strategically and execute plans effectively.
Track record in autonomously structuring, coordinating and executing projects.
Prioritises effectively between tasks, favours 80/20 approaches and can manage multiple projects concurrently.
Excellent (oral / written) communication in both English and Italian. Track record in presenting to a senior audience and influencing decision making.
Strong stakeholder management skills and thrives in a collaborative environment.
Hands-on experience using AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude) to solve real work problems is a strong plus.
Preferred, but not required:
Experience with forecasting and modelling.
Leadership: Proven experience in managing and developing high-performing teams.
