Job Ref ID: JR0088282
YOUR MISSION
Be the high-trust partner to Poland’s GM, owning the operating system that turns strategy into execution: cadences, reporting and decision-making rigor. Over the next 12–18 months, you’ll lead the cross-functional projects that don’t fit anywhere else, with a focus on tax, finance and compliance, while connecting Poland with the rest of Glovo.
THE JOURNEY
Owns standards, continuous improvement and execution of operating system: cadences, reporting, decision logs, escalation paths.
Owns end-to-end delivery of cross-functional special projects assigned by the GM, with full latitude on approach and stakeholder management
Acts as GM's delegate on prep, follow-up, and execution oversight for the leadership team
Authority is borrowed from the GM and only as durable as the trust earned; gets things done through influence, not formal authority
WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE RIDE
Must have
4–7 years of experience combining operational delivery with structured problem-solving (consulting-to-operator path, in-house Strategy, avid project manager or prior CoS strongly preferred)
Demonstrated execution: has personally driven cross-functional projects to closure with measurable outcomes; not advisory-only
Strong operational rigor: designs operating cadences, builds reporting layers, runs business reviews; does not shy from the spreadsheet or the operational detail
Structured problem-solving: takes ambiguous problems, breaks them down, builds a plan, drives to outcome.
Can deep dive by him/herself, isn’t only managing other people work, but makes its own opinion and POV
Exceptional written and verbal synthesis: produces GM-ready one-pagers in hours, not days
High-trust profile: discreet, low ego, comfortable holding sensitive information, no personal agenda beyond the role
Influence without authority across seniority levels (junior analysts to country leadership to HQ)
Bar-raising mentality: holds the line on standards, calls out drift, does not normalize mediocrity
Strong analytical baseline: SQL or spreadsheet fluency, comfortable interrogating data directly
Fluent in Polish and English
Nice to have
Marketplace, on-demand, tech, or high-growth scaleup background.
Exposure to multi-stakeholder, matrixed environments (HQ + country dynamics).
Prior experience designing or running country/regional operating rhythms.
Familiarity with Glovo's commercial, operational, or product context.
