Manager, Commercial Transformation

We are seeking a strategic and execution-focused Manager for the Commercial Transformation team, to help drive and lead high-impact commercial initiatives across 17 countries for our global brands (foodora, foodpanda, and Yemeksepeti).

Operating as a hands-on internal consultant and lean PMO leader, this role bridges high-level commercial direction with immediate execution. This is an execution-first role. We are looking for an operational builder. You must be comfortable taking decisive action with 70% of the data, building immediate momentum on the ground, and iterating in real-time.

This role reports directly to the Director of Commercial Transformation, and works in close partnership with Market Managing Directors, Commercial Directors, and central function leaders.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead high-impact commercial transformation initiatives, rapid-response interventions, and cross-functional pilots end-to-end across 17 markets, seamlessly scaling projects from initial setup to full regional rollout.
• Partner cross-functionally with Market Managing Directors, Commercial Directors, and central teams to resolve cross-functional operational bottlenecks in our restaurant business.
• Develop and manage lean project plans, timelines, and resource allocation, ensuring rapid execution without bureaucratic overhead.
• Proactively adopt a bottom-up approach to identify, escalate, and resolve commercial risks, operational friction, and performance issues on the ground.
• Develop and execute communication plans to keep senior executives and cross-country stakeholders aligned throughout the project lifecycle.
• Provide clear, concise executive readouts and regular status updates to senior leadership, ensuring transparency on mission progress and commercial impact.
• Act as the project owner on cross-functional commercial innovation pilots, taking them from proof-of-concept to regional rollout.
