THE ROLE AND YOUR IMPACT AT DOTT

Interim Project Manager, Operations Team
Duration: 6-month fixed-term contract

Location: Stuttgart Region (on-site presence required)

Language: Fluency in English and German is required

This is a 6-month interim role focused on a specific project: lead an end-to-end operational efficiency initiative across a defined cluster of cities. The project scope includes a thorough review and restructuring of our operational footprint — warehouses, logistics flows, cost structures, and third-party partnerships — to drive sustainable efficiencies while maintaining service quality for our riders.

This is not a standard operational management role. You will be expected to diagnose, plan, execute, and hand over — driving real structural change within a fixed timeline. You will work closely with local operations teams, regional leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders across Finance, People, and Commercial.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Project Leadership & Delivery

• Own the end-to-end delivery of the cluster efficiency project, from diagnostic through to execution and transition handover.

• Define a clear project roadmap with milestones, workstreams, risks, and decision points, and report progress to regional and senior leadership.

• Lead footprint optimization efforts — including consolidation of warehouse and operational sites — ensuring transitions are executed with minimal disruption to daily operations.

• Identify and quantify efficiency levers across logistics, workforce deployment, and vendor contracts; build the business case and drive decisions to closure.

Operational Excellence

• Monitor and analyze cluster-level KPIs

• Optimize vehicle deployment and logistics flows to ensure the fleet is in the right locations at the right times.

• Ensure warehouse and field operations run safely and compliantly

Stakeholder & Partner Management

• Build and maintain effective working relationships with third-party logistics providers, local vendors, and subcontractors throughout the project lifecycle.

• Align internal stakeholders — Operations, Finance, People — on project scope

• Manage change thoughtfully: communicate clearly with local teams impacted by restructuring decisions, ensuring people understand the rationale and next steps.

YOU’LL FIT GREAT WITH THESE SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

Education & Experience:

• Degree or relevant experience in Operations, or a related field.

• Proven track record in operational transformation, restructuring, or efficiency projects

• Background in operations/blue-collar management, ideally in fleet management, logistics, or urban mobility.

• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders (like subcontractors or third-party logistics providers).

Skills & Competencies:

• Strong project management skills: able to structure complex workstreams, manage competing priorities, and keep delivery on track.

• Sharp analytical mindset — proficient in Excel/Google Sheets, comfortable with operational data, and able to translate numbers into clear recommendations.

• Confident stakeholder manager: able to influence across levels, navigate sensitive conversations, and build alignment in ambiguous situations.

• Hands-on and execution-oriented — you don't just advise, you drive things to completion.

• Composed under pressure, with strong judgment and the ability to make decisions when it matters.
