Expansion Manager – Germany

Salary Competitive

Mover is a Danish tech startup disrupting the logistics industry. We are growing and expect to launch across major German cities in the second half of 2019. We look for a talented businessperson with a global mindset who can take lead and make great things happen – initially in Berlin and Munich. You will work with a team of ambitious doers in close collaboration with senior management in Copenhagen.


Tasks and responsibilities of the Expansion Manager

In short, the position involves a very broad array of tasks with a tremendous responsibility in building the German operations from the ground up and making great things happen in no-time. From establishing offices to ensuring office supplies, from close collaboration with large professional customers to aligning operational procedures with subcontractors in warehouses at nighttime – this is hard work and everything you imagine from a successful startup.

Specifically:

  • Finding and negotiating contracts with facility-providers in major cities (offices and warehouses)
  • Attract and recruit talent to regional operations teams 
  • Interim management of regional teams
  • Liaison to Mover HQ in Copenhagen
  • Identify new business opportunities and develop these into professional products and services
  • Adapt and roll-out new products and services regionally
  • Gather market insights and intelligence to strategic and tactical recommendations
  • Execute and realize the company’s ambitions with support of senior management

 

Personality and behavioral traits of a successful Expansion Manager

We expect that you are an ambitious and driven professional that hate losing as much as you love winning. You are business-oriented and extremely rational when you assess opportunities, maintain overview and make your case – probably in a spreadsheet. You can sell ideas and are used to getting what you want.

Preferably:

  • You are smart and creative, so you think outside of the box
  • You are a hardworking and persistent problem-solver that rarely give up and finish what you start
  • You are professionally fluent in both German and English, written and spoken
  • You are a MS Office superuser, especially PowerPoint and Excel
  • You are a team-player that is likable and respected by others
  • You probably have an education from a business school or in supply chain

 

What Mover can offer you

You will be part of a strong and professional Scandinavian culture that we cultivate. We hire talents that we admire and who share our mutual expectations. We enjoy shared successes and are committed to steep learning curves and individual career ambitions.

As Expansion Manager, we expect that you invest at least two years with various projects before you probably ‘settle’ in a management position that suits your preferences, ambitions and skills.
