Main Challenges:

• Organizational Alignment at Scale: Maintaining execution speed, technical alignment, and strong culture across a 100+ person organization operating through multiple layers of management.
• Balancing Tri-Sided Value Propositions: Harmonizing competing priorities between merchant demands (low fees, high SLAs), customer expectations (speed, precision), and fleet economic constraints (cost-per-parcel).
• Real-Time AI Deployment: Operationalizing complex machine learning models in production
• C-Suite Vision vs. Operational Realities: Managing C-level expectations and growth targets while navigating execution limitations.

Your main responsibilities:

• Business Strategy & Executive Stakeholder Management: Set the long-term delivery technology vision, align product roadmaps with commercial goals, establish OKRs, and present strategy directly to VP and C-level executives.
• Merchant & Customer Value Propositions: Drive product strategy for the delivery ecosystem, creating high-converting merchant tools and transparent end-customer experiences
• People Leadership: Lead, structure, and scale a 100+ person cross-functional organization of product managers, software engineers, data scientists, and engineering managers; drive organizational design, talent retention, and cross-team execution velocity.
• AI & Applied Machine Learning: Lead the application of AI/ML models to solve core delivery problems.
• Delivery Platform Infrastructure: Oversee cloud platform architecture.
• Vision & Strategy: Define and execute the long-term Product & Engineering roadmap for Delivery Experience, balancing immediate operational goals with long-term technological vision.
• AI & Product Innovation: Drive technological transformation by architecting and integrating agentic AI solutions into product flows to enhance system capabilities and product usability.
• People Leadership: Operational Excellence: Overhaul workflows by instilling modern product management frameworks, establishing clear execution metrics, and embedding simulation-driven decision-making.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Act as the primary bridge between Product/Engineering, business units, and logistics operations to deliver value for both end-customers (B2C) and merchants (B2B).
• Hands-on Problem Solving: Deep-dive into operational or technical bottlenecks when necessary to challenge the status quo and unblock delivery teams.

We are looking for:

• Proven Track Record of Measurable Outcomes: A technology leader with a quantifiable history of driving high-impact product results—delivering concrete improvements in delivery speed, merchant efficiency, conversion, and operational margins. You take full end-to-end ownership of outcomes, not just output or feature delivery.
• Dual Product & Engineering Mastery: A strong software engineering foundation paired with sharp commercial instincts, enabling you to bridge complex technical architecture with long-term business strategy.
• Domain Expertise in Logistics & Operations: Deep experience building and scaling consumer-facing delivery products, merchant logistics tools, or operations automation within high-scale e-commerce or delivery ecosystems.
• Organizational Scaling & Operational Discipline: Demonstrated experience leading, structuring, and growing large product and engineering organizations, establishing operational efficiency, engineering rigour, and a high-accountability culture.
• Bold Ownership & Strategic Execution: A decisive leader with the courage to make high-stakes architectural and product calls, navigate organizational complexity, and execute bold bets in a fast-paced environment.
• Data Rigor & C-Suite Influence: Highly analytical mindset with a track record of leveraging data to drive strategic alignment, navigate matrixed stakeholders, and establish immediate credibility with executive leadership.
• Executive Communication & English Fluency: Exceptional written and verbal English skills, capable of translating complex technology strategies into compelling narratives for C-suite leaders and cross-functional partners alike.
