Team Overview

We are looking for an experienced and data-driven strategy & planning senior manager to lead and optimize marketplace performance across key cities in LATAM. In this role, you'll go beyond execution: you'll define strategy, create scalable processes, and influence cross-functional teams to drive courier growth, engagement, and retention.

As an experienced operator, you're expected to bring strong business acumen, a track record of solving complex operational problems with data, and a proactive, ownership-first mentality.

• Lead core, cross-functional projects that improve marketplace balance and performance.
• Design and improve scalable processes that enhance courier lifecycle management (acquisition, engagement, retention).
• Coordinate with multiple areas and senior stakeholders, communicating and discussing ideas that impact decisions and goals.
• Identify courier operations pain points and translate them into executable solutions, based on data insights and deep operational understanding.
• Guide teams to use different analytical tools (SQL, Python, Excel, and BI tools) to analyze large datasets, identify trends, and drive strategic decisions.
• Support the development and feedback cycle with product teams on new features and assignment models.
• Mentor team members or analysts as needed, promoting analytical thinking and operational rigor.

Role Qualifications

• 7-9+ years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, or high-growth startups (food delivery or mobility is a plus).
• Proven ability to solve highly complex problems at a country level, leveraging different data analysis methods.
• Experience with BI/visualization tools such as Power BI, Tableau, or Looker.
• Strong understanding of business metrics and operational KPIs.
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Economics, Mathematics, Business, or related fields.
• Strong communication skills and ability to influence across functions and levels.
• Demonstrated leadership potential and ownership mindset — proactive, independent, and impact-oriented.
• Comfortable operating in fast-paced and ambiguous environments.
• Professional fluency in English and Spanish (written and verbal).
