Founded in 2014 in the Czech Republic, Rohlik is the European leader of e-grocery in Central Europe.
Already active in the Czech Republic (Rohlik.cz), Hungary (Kifli.hu) and Austria (Gurkerl.at), in Germany (Knuspr.de) and in Romania (Sezamo.ro). By owning its end-to-end operations, including all technology in-house, Rohlik provides a superior customer experience and the freshest food from local farmers and artisans, as well as a broad supermarket selection.
Rohlik is scaling its last-mile operations, and our Delivery Service Partner (DSP) network is critical to getting fresh food to hundreds of thousands of customers on time. We are looking for a strategic and operational leader to take full ownership of managing, setting up, and developing our DSP network across the entire Czech Republic.
This is not a traditional account management role. You will own the national strategy, manage the last-mile budget, drive capacity planning, and lead the team that supports our courier network on the ground. You will balance long-term transformational projects with hands-on operational leadership.
Why this role is exciting
- You will have full ownership of the DSP network strategy, directly impacting cost efficiency, delivery quality, and scalability across the Czech Republic.
- This is a build-and-transform role where you will unify processes, standardise reporting, and set clear rules across all markets in the country.
- You will work with high autonomy and maintain direct visibility with top management, presenting data-driven recommendations that shape our last-mile setup.
- You will lead a multi-disciplinary team of specialists and trainers, shaping how we onboard, mentor, and retain courier capacity.
- Your work directly influences Rohlik’s core customer promise — fast, reliable, and high-quality delivery.
What you will own and deliver
- DSP Network Strategy & Ownership: Take end-to-end responsibility for the strategy, performance, and sustainable growth of the DSP network across the Czech Republic.
- Budget & Transformation Management: Manage last-mile operational budgets and lead transformational initiatives focused on process optimization, cost efficiency, and network scalability.
- Capacity Planning & Recruitment: Drive nationwide courier capacity planning to ensure optimal coverage at all times, optimizing the recruitment strategy and budget utilization.
- Team Leadership: Lead, mentor, and develop a team of internal specialists, including Trainer Bohemia, Trainer Moravia, Last Mile Specialist, and Buddy teams.
- Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as the key bridge between DSP partners and last-mile leadership, collaborating daily with Heads of Logistics, DC Managers, and Quality teams.
- Data-Driven Reporting: Analyze operational performance, track key metrics, and present actionable insights to top management.
What we are looking for
- 3–5+ years of experience in senior operations, last-mile logistics, transport management, or senior account management handling large partner networks.
- A strong analytical and data-driven mindset with the ability to turn complex operational numbers into fast, smart decisions.
- Proven resilience and the ability to navigate dynamic, fast-paced operational environments with changing priorities.
- Strong communication, negotiation, and diplomatic skills — capable of maintaining a fair, clear, and assertive approach with partners.
- A resourceful, hands-on mindset that focuses on solving problems when standard processes are not enough.
- Fluent English and Czech (written and spoken) for daily cross-functional and international communication.
What we offer
- Fair reward & flexibility: Competitive compensation package with the option of occasional home office.
- Free Rohlik Xtra account: 10% cashback in credits on all your purchases on Rohlik.cz.
- Extra time off: Flexible paid time off options when you need a proper rest or time for family.
- Good food every day: Subsidized lunches, premium coffee, and fresh fruit available at the workplace.
- Peer recognition program: Collect recognition points from colleagues and redeem them for vouchers at Alza, Notino, and other partners.
- Sport & wellbeing: Subsidized MultiSport card for sports and relaxation.
- Company events: Regular team events and company-wide celebrations.
