Über diese Product Lead - Operations Stelle bei Bosta
About Bosta:

About the Role
Bosta is opening a Product Lead - Ops position in the Ops tribe of the Product Team. The Product Lead leads
one or more product managers and owns a part of the business verticals within the Ops tribe. Under this
umbrella, the Product Lead collaborates with more than one squad and is accountable for the product results
across them.
This is a role built around the hubs. The Product Lead is on the hub floor at least twice a week, understands
how parcels, couriers and hub teams actually work, and turns what they see into clear product decisions. The
first question is always whether a process change solves the problem; a tech solution comes only when it does
not. The role also covers hubs outside Cairo & Giza, in the Delta and Upper Egypt, where cut-off times and
operations flows differ and the product has to fit how each hub runs.
The Product Lead has to deliver focused impact across several scopes at the same time, and has to speak the
same language as the operations people who use the products every day.
Job Description

operations that run on different cut-off times and operational flows from the Cairo & Giza hubs.

process first; commission a tech solution only when a process change cannot deliver the result.

with operations teams in their own language, using their terms and their metrics instead of product jargon.
● Prioritize and balance work across several scopes at the same time, keeping each squad focused and
making sure each scope delivers measurable impact.
● Review the quality of discovery, solution design and delivery by the PMs, and follow each release
through to hub adoption, measuring it against the operational metrics agreed with operations teams.
● Align priorities and trade-offs with operations leadership, engineering and design, and report progress
and results to the Head of Product, Operations.
Job Requirements

product managers.
● Required: Able to commit to hub visits at least twice a week.

different cut-off times and operational flows that need to be productized.
● Knows how to optimize processes and does not treat a tech solution as the first answer.
● Knows how to translate on-ground challenges into product solutions, and can talk in the same
language as on-ground people.
●Able to focus and create impact in multiple scopes at the same time, including working with
more than one squad.
