We are looking for a Head of France to launch and rapidly scale our
service in France, starting with Paris. We are very ambitious with our
plans and have the know-how and resources to make it happen - the
missing piece is you!
ROLE/RESPONSIBILITIES:
Launch and grow operations at a rapid pace
Assume control and responsibility over the country’s operations, targets and costs
Build a team of high impact individuals
Match rider demand with chauffeur supply
Ensure the operation is fully compliant with local laws and regulations
Study the market and competition
REQUIREMENTS:
Experience as a general / operations manager, director or consultant
in a top-tier consultancy or IT / consumer internet / on demand business
Strong communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to motivate others
Confident critical-thinker who can jump into many different problems, markets and situations and come up with solutions.
We need someone who is invigorated by delivering impact – and seeing
the tangible effects. You need to want to make change now – this is
less about creating an incredible strategy that will be implemented over
the next 5 years, and more about processes that can change the business
in the next 6 months.
You know when you have enough insight to make a call and apply the
80 / 20 rule – rapid high quality decisions. You are enthusiastic,
flexible & adaptable with the ability to remove barriers &
bottlenecks via facilitation, creativity & resourcefulness. You
don’t slavishly follow processes if they aren’t right. In other words,
whatever it is - you can get it done
You'll definitely do some number-crunching – it’s important to be
able to quickly identify issues, inefficiencies and how big these might
be.
