If you join our team, you’ll work in a supportive and collaborative environment where our culture and our values—Mastery, Compassion, and Courage—are taken as seriously as delivering an incredible experience for our customers. 

About the role

We are obsessed with providing our Customers a world class experience, and that begins with the promises we make to our Customers about when they can expect their fresh hot meal to be delivered.  The Head of Product Operations is the business leader responsible for making sure that the ETA promises we make to our Customers are always accurate and that we will be on time.   

Wonder’s food delivery is more complex than traditional delivery models because we bring the restaurant to you and prepare our meals right in front of our Customers’ homes.  This complexity manifests as an opportunity to give best in class visibility to the Customer about the status of their order, and also to mathematically and statistically map out the process from “Ordering” to “Eating.” This will include travel time and distance predictions, traffic and obstacle handling recommendations, as well as experience optimization of how this information is communicated to Customers. 

In this role, you will have broad influence to make process and product enhancements as well as to evolve our delivery algorithms to achieve best in class on-time performance.  You will be expected to make data-driven decisions, analyze poorly performing deliveries, and define a strategy for consistently improving our on-time delivery KPIs.  

The Head of Product Operations will partner with Technology, Operations, Engineering, Data Science and Product to develop mission-critical software and hardware solutions with the goals of minimizing ETA volatility and maximizing on-time deliveries. You will oversee gaps between teams, processes and systems, helping teams reduce exposure to classic failure modes that have an adverse effect on ETA accuracy and overall customer delivery experience. 

You will have an opportunity to recruit new members of the team as well as engage with third parties for any other skillsets or consulting support that is needed by the team.  You will develop and own the budget that’s needed to make your team successful.  

This is a high visibility role that has measurable impact on a daily basis. As such, you will be expected to communicate with executive stakeholders and company leaders about your team’s objectives, wins/losses and plans for continuous improvement.
