About The Role
The food delivery market is developing rapidly and is being characterised by a high degree of innovation as well as fierce competition, which makes it essential to develop and deliver innovative projects with significant impact on our operations. The Project Manager is a key role within our Delivery Operations Netherlands department, and requires the capability to proactively identify opportunities to grow our business, drive down costs and deliver better service.
