About the Company

You will be joining a fast-growing, seed-stage European logistics tech startup, backed by a global company builder, that is making it as easy to move a car across Europe as it is to send a package. Its AI-powered platform connects car dealers, compounds and carriers and manages every vehicle movement from order to delivery, with a strong focus on premium, 5-star customer service. Demand is growing fast, and the operations team is expanding to keep up.

The Role

As a Junior Operations Coordinator, you will keep car transports moving smoothly across Europe, from pickup to delivery. You'll coordinate dealers, compounds, drivers and carriers, stay on the phone with customers throughout each transport, and step in quickly when something runs late. It's a hands-on, high-energy role at the heart of the customer experience.

You'll join a growing operations team and work closely with an experienced Operations Coordinator, taking on part of a busy workload from day one. This role is ideal for someone who loves the phone, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants to grow their responsibilities as the company scales.
