Warehouse Operations Manager

Pracovní nabídka

At Rohlik, we grow fast — and that growth only works when operations, processes and people move together. Now we’re launching a brand-new, highly automated fulfillment center, and that creates a rare opportunity: to join a site from the very beginning and help shape how it works from day one.

We’re looking for an Operations Manager who will lead a core shift, manage a team of Area Managers to drive high performance, and help turn a new building into a high-performing operation. This is the kind of role where you don’t inherit years of legacy. You help build the setup, influence the standards, and leave a visible footprint from the start.

Why this role is exciting

• You’ll join at the launch of a new fulfillment center, which means real influence from day one.
• You won’t just maintain existing ways of working — you’ll help build, shape and establish operational processes from scratch.
• A new site means new teams, new automation tech, new habits and a real chance to set the culture the right way from the beginning.
• You’ll work at the intersection of leadership, automation, shift-level performance and continuous improvement.
• You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams like OpEx, Automation, HR, IT, and Transport to solve live challenges.
• This is a role for someone who thrives on startup energy, likes dynamic situations, visible impact and building something that will scale.

What you’ll do

As Operations Manager, you will lead a core shift, managing a team of Area Managers to drive high performance across safety, quality, and productivity.

You will:

• Own the shift: Drive shift-level operational performance, safety compliance, and labor management
• Lead & develop: Coach, mentor and scale your team of Area Managers, ensuring optimal staffing, skills, and readiness
• Work with cross-functional teams (Automation, OpEx, HR, IT, Transport) to solve live challenges and align resources
• Monitor site KPIs, conduct root-cause analyses, and champion a continuous improvement culture
• Support implementation of new processes, tools and automated systems across the fulfillment center
• Drive standardisation, safety compliance and best-practice adoption in a new operational environment
• Support operations during peak periods, weekends and holidays with hands-on problem-solving
• Build an environment with stronger standards, better processes and an engaging, high-energy culture from Day 1
• Drive your shift to successful outcomes and help teams adopt new ways of working smoothly and consistently

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of experience in operations, logistics or manufacturing management
• Proven track record of managing large teams in fast-paced environments
• Strong analytical mindset, data-driven decision-making and problem-solving approach
• Excellent communication, coordination and leadership skills
• High school leaving exam (Abitur/Matura) or higher education
• Proficiency in English
• Flexibility to work shifts, weekends, and holidays to support operations

Nice to have:

• University degree or MBA in a related field
• Experience with Lean, Six Sigma or continuous improvement methodologies
• Experience with WMS tools and high-volume automated fulfillment operations

What’s in it for you

• Fair reward – You’ll get an attractive fixed salary, with no bonus games or politics. Great work deserves clear and fair recognition.
• Good food every day – You can enjoy a free lunch every day, plus fresh fruit and vegetables at work. Because good food fuels good work.
• Extra time off – We know rest matters. In addition to statutory vacation, you can also take extra paid time off by agreement, always with shift planning and operational needs in mind.
• Xtra membership – You’ll get free Xtra membership and 10% cashback on all purchases on Rohlik.cz.
• Sport & wellbeing – Stay active through company sports challenges or a subsidised Multisport card.
• A safe work environment – You’ll work in a modern warehouse with the equipment and support you need to do your job well and safely.
• A team that pulls together – Collaboration matters in warehouse operations. You’ll be part of a team where people support each other, keep the pace and handle daily operations together.
• Work that matters – Thanks to your work, fresh food reaches thousands of customers on time. Every well-delivered change has a real impact on how the site performs every day.
