Warehouse Operations Manager

At Rohlik, we grow fast — and that growth only works when operations, processes and people move together. Now we’re launching a brand-new, highly automated fulfillment center, and that creates a rare opportunity: to join a site from the very beginning and help shape how it works from day one. We’re looking for an Operations Manager who will lead a core shift, manage a team of Area Managers to drive high performance, and help turn a new building into a high-performing operation. This is the kind of role where you don’t inherit years of legacy. You help build the setup, influence the standards, and leave a visible footprint from the start.

Why this role is exciting

You’ll join at the launch of a new fulfillment center, which means real influence from day one.

You won’t just maintain existing ways of working — you’ll help build, shape and establish operational processes from scratch.

A new site means new teams, new automation tech, new habits and a real chance to set the culture the right way from the beginning.

You’ll work at the intersection of leadership, automation, shift-level performance and continuous improvement.

You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams like OpEx, Automation, HR, IT, and Transport to solve live challenges.

This is a role for someone who thrives on startup energy, likes dynamic situations, visible impact and building something that will scale.

What you’ll do

As Operations Manager, you will lead a core shift, managing a team of Area Managers to drive high performance across safety, quality, and productivity.

You will:

Own the shift: Drive shift-level operational performance, safety compliance, and labor management

Lead & develop: Coach, mentor and scale your team of Area Managers, ensuring optimal staffing, skills, and readiness

Work with cross-functional teams (Automation, OpEx, HR, IT, Transport) to solve live challenges and align resources

Monitor site KPIs, conduct root-cause analyses, and champion a continuous improvement culture

Support implementation of new processes, tools and automated systems across the fulfillment center

Drive standardisation, safety compliance and best-practice adoption in a new operational environment

Support operations during peak periods, weekends and holidays with hands-on problem-solving

Build an environment with stronger standards, better processes and an engaging, high-energy culture from Day 1

Drive your shift to successful outcomes and help teams adopt new ways of working smoothly and consistently

What we’re looking for

2+ years of experience in operations, logistics or manufacturing management

Proven track record of managing teams (20+ ppl) in fast-paced environments

Strong analytical mindset, data-driven decision-making and problem-solving approach

Excellent communication, coordination and leadership skills

High school leaving exam (Abitur/Matura) or higher education

Proficiency in English, Czech is a plus not mandatory

Availability to work regular business hours, Monday through Friday, with occasional Saturdays to support operational needs

Nice to have:

University degree or MBA in a related field

Experience with Lean, Six Sigma or continuous improvement methodologies

Experience with WMS tools and high-volume automated fulfillment operations

What’s in it for you

Fair reward – You’ll get an attractive fixed salary, with no bonus games or politics. Great work deserves clear and fair recognition.

Good food every day – You can enjoy a free lunch every day, plus fresh fruit and vegetables at work. Because good food fuels good work.

Extra time off – We know rest matters. In addition to statutory vacation, you can also take extra paid time off by agreement, always with shift planning and operational needs in mind.

Sport & wellbeing – Stay active through company sports challenges or a subsidised Multisport card.

A safe work environment – You’ll work in a modern warehouse with the equipment and support you need to do your job well and safely.

A team that pulls together – Collaboration matters in warehouse operations. You’ll be part of a team where people support each other, keep the pace and handle daily operations together.

Work that matters – Thanks to your work, fresh food reaches thousands of customers on time. Every well-delivered change has a real impact on how the site performs every day.
