Senior Operations Manager (Value Creation)

<gh-intro>
<text>

We are looking for an entrepreneurial, analytically sharp, and externally confident Senior Operations Manager to lead two of our most critical domains in Poland: Trust & Safety, Driver Engagement, along with overseeing City Performance Management in a dedicated region. This is a high-impact, highly visible role that sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and stakeholder influence — and will directly shape how Bolt grows and operates in one of its key European markets.

<title>About us</title>

<text>

With over 200 million customers in 50+ countries, Bolt is one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Europe and Africa. And it's all thanks to our people.

We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability.

Our ultimate goal is to make cities for people, not cars, and we need your help to achieve this mission!

<title>About the role</title>

<text>

You will own the end-to-end operational strategy across three interconnected pillars. From driving long-term regulatory strategy and ensuring compliance, to designing non-monetary driver loyalty programs that keep supply on Bolt's platform, and ultimately holding accountability for the performance of cities in your region. You will report to the General Manager and work cross-functionally with Legal, Public Policy, Central Operations, and Product teams.

This is not a back-office compliance role. We're looking for someone who can walk into a room with regulators, city officials, or driver community leaders and be a credible, compelling voice for Bolt while also diving into supply data and running complex strategic projects.
