About This Role
Operations Specialist
Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation, and growth drives everything we do.
Our Commercial team sits at the centre of Deliveroo’s marketplace—shaping how we serve restaurants, grocers, and new verticals worldwide.
From negotiating key partnerships to unlocking new revenue streams and crafting data-led growth strategies, we take on big challenges that move the business forward.
If you thrive in fast-paced, commercial environments and want to influence the future of a global brand—this is the team for you.
We’re looking for an
Operations Specialist
to join our
Dubai
team.
In this leadership role, you’ll act as the operational lead for a cluster of grocery and retail sites, driving performance and managing a team of field associates to deliver exceptional results across the UAE.
Get to know our Operations team — what drives us, how we work, and what you can expect.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be joining the
Grocery Field Operations
team.
Building on our core operational foundations, you will focus on managing multiple sites through a team of Senior Operations Associates, ensuring excellence in every order we fulfil.
Here’s What Your Day-to-day Might Look Like
- Cluster & Team Leadership: Oversee multiple grocery sites, mentoring a team of associates and senior associates. You’ll conduct performance reviews and build team capability through structured field coaching.
- Performance Optimisation: Analyse key KPIs like B10s (picking time), picking accuracy, and rejection rates. You'll identify performance gaps and implement data-driven action plans to bring sites back on track.
- Operational Audits: Conduct regular store walkthroughs to ensure strict adherence to our Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and quality standards.
- Stakeholder Management: Act as the primary point of contact for partner management teams, collaborating cross-functionally with Supply Chain and Central Ops to resolve escalations.
- Strategic Reporting: Consolidate cluster-level insights for Weekly and Monthly Business Reviews (WBR/MBR), presenting performance data and strategic recommendations to Regional Managers.
What You’ll Need to Thrive
- Multi-Site Leadership: Significant experience (3–4 years) in grocery, retail, or last-mile operations, with a proven track record of managing teams and multiple locations.
- Analytical Rigour: Strong understanding of grocery metrics (B10s, IUNS, rejections) and the ability to interpret complex dashboards to drive operational changes.
- Stakeholder Influence: Excellent communication skills with the ability to manage relationships with both on-ground store staff and senior central leadership.
- Technical Proficiency: Proficient in using mobile/tablet applications and operational reporting tools to track live performance.
- Mobility: A valid UAE driving licence and access to your own transport are essential for this field-based leadership role.
- Nice to Have
- Experience in scaling new store launches or "dark store" operations in the Middle East.
- Project management experience in a high-growth tech or e-commerce environment.
