Company mission
To revolutionize the transportation industry for delivery drivers.
Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who is comfortable working with both strategy and execution — a sharp thinker who can connect the dots and back decisions with data
- 3–5 years of experience in project management, startups, operations, consulting, or any high-stakes, fast-moving environment
- A builder and a problem-solver — you thrive in ambiguity, figure things out, and create structure where none exists
- Highly analytical — you love numbers, reports, and making data-driven decisions
- Tech-savvy enough to identify automation opportunities and collaborate with engineers (but you don’t need to code)
- Comfortable with both digital and real-world execution — from software rollouts to government paperwork
What the job involves
- This is not your typical project management job
- You won’t just sit in meetings, update timelines, or send follow-ups — you’ll make things happen
- You’ll take ownership of high-impact projects, optimize operational processes, and work directly with one of our founders to drive execution
- From launching major partnerships with the country’s largest delivery platforms to developing new products and optimizing operations — if there’s an opportunity to scale or improve efficiency, we make it happen
- Own cross-functional projects that touch every part of the business — Operations, IT, Compliance, and beyond
- Build a plan from scratch, figure out what needs to be done, who needs to do it, and how to get it across the finish line
- Identify automation opportunities to improve workflows and efficiency, collaborating with the development team when a new feature needs to be added or a process can be optimized
- Analyze data, reports, and key metrics to optimize decision-making and project execution
- Get your hands dirty — whether that means running live tests, rolling out an MVP manually, or tracking down missing data to get clear insights
Our take
With New York City alone home to over 60,000 delivery workers, Whizz is seizing the opportunity to innovate the electric bike rental industry. Many e-bikes available today are expensive, or do not meet regulations, so Whizz offers affordable and safe e-bikes to gig workers through its marketplace platform.
Whizz was founded in 2022 but already has notable partnerships with Grubhub and DoorDash, offering their drivers rent-to-own and subscription schemes at a discount. Whizz subscriptions also include service, maintenance and anti-theft protection, providing strong coverage for workers whose income is reliant on the quality of their vehicle.
Early funding will be channelled into expansion, as Whizz pushes to capitalise on its strong start. It does have a prominent competitor in Zoomo, a company that has already entered a partnership with Uber Eats, though it is too early to say if either business is a frontrunner to capture this growing market. Either way, things certainly look promising for Whizz's future.
