Lime is hiring a Sr Program Manager, Repair Operations to build and scale the operating system for Repair Operations worldwide. We’re looking for a global transformation leader who can align markets around common operating standards and lead measurable improvements in repair quality, efficiency, and compliance. This pivotal role brings together continuous improvement, tooling, training, data, and cross-functional execution to build repeatable systems and help teams deliver consistent results at scale.
You will lead a globally diverse team of project managers in turning complex operational problems into scalable solutions—from diagnosing root causes and testing changes in live operations to validating impact and translating proven practices into global standards. You will partner closely with Local Operations, Central Operations, Supply Chain, Product, Engineering, Data, and Finance to build alignment, drive adoption, and embed sustainable change across markets.
This is a hybrid position with a requirement for candidates to reside in Milan to maintain effective collaboration across teams.

• Lead and develop the global Repair Operations team, setting priorities, operating standards, and a consistent performance-management approach for a diverse team of project managers.
• Design and scale a common Repair Operations management system, including global standards, operating cadences, performance metrics, and continuous-improvement routines.
• Drive operational change across a large, globally distributed organization of repair Operations warehouses and frontline teams.
• Build alignment and adoption across markets by influencing country and market leaders and securing the resources required to implement change.
• Partner Knowledge Sharing to own the global Repair Operations training and certification strategy, including role-based curricula, standard work, train-the-trainer programs, certification requirements, and readiness criteria for core repair activities.
• Own the Repair Operations measurement framework and source-of-truth reporting, ensuring that metrics are clearly defined, trusted, actionable, with good frontline visibility, and used consistently by frontline teams and leadership.
• Own the Repair Operations tooling and equipment strategy, including operational requirements, standards, pilots, maintenance, and adoption. Partner with Product and Engineering to test solutions, validate impact, and scale tools that enable safe, repeatable, high-quality repairs.
