<p>Total Compensation Range: €72,930 - €104,550</p> <h3><strong>The Position</strong></h3> <p>BER3 is our Berlin flagship - and the site where we pilot the processes, tools, and automation that later scale across the whole Hive network. We're looking for a Site Lead to own it end-to-end: its people, its performance, its P&L, and its standard of excellence. You'll run a site of ~200 associates across all different areas leading through a team of Area Managers. This is a hands-on leadership role - you set the standard on the floor, not from a desk. You're first in and last out when it matters, calm under pressure, and you turn problems into proposals.</p> <p><strong>Your Key Responsibilities</strong>:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Own</strong> the building end-to-end. Take full accountability for BER3's P&L, productivity, quality, safety and team health. Hitting monthly, quarterly and annual budget targets and treating every cost line and KPI as yours. Flag deviations early with a plan, not a surprise.</li> <li><strong>Run</strong> safe, high-quality daily operations. Keep associates safe and compliant as your first priority. Own order accuracy, customer NPS and health scores. Be visible on the floor, regular Gemba walks, shift-start presence during peaks, and time close to the work and the merchants you serve.</li> <li><strong>Lead</strong> and grow people. Coach your Area Managers with weekly 1:1s, clear growth paths and honest, regular feedback. Build a skills matrix, develop successors, and manage performance in line with our value of caring meritocracy. Keep a motivated team and low churn of your best people.</li> <li><strong>Drive</strong> improvement and innovation. BER3 is Hive's R&D site, so you'll run it with a try-fast, learn-fast mindset, piloting new processes, tools and automation, and turning what works at BER3 into improvements that ship across the network. Bring at least one measurable improvement initiative per quarter.</li> <li><strong>Communicate</strong> <strong>and collaborate</strong>. Write clearly (SOPs, incident post-mortems), present with structure (leadership reviews, all-hands), and own escalations end-to-end: including a fast, structured response on critical (SEV1) incidents. Partner with HQ, the WMS/product team, and merchant-facing teams.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Your Profile</strong></h3> <p>We are looking for someone who has:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Several years</strong> leading a fulfillment center, warehouse or 3PL operation at scale, with direct P&L ownership</li> <li><strong>A genuine hands-on</strong>, people-first leadership style and a never-give-up attitude</li> <li><strong>Strong analytical skills</strong>, comfortable with data, able to read a P&L and act on it</li> <li><strong>A proactive, solution-first problem-solver </strong>who surfaces issues early and brings suggestions</li> <li><strong>A proven track record </strong>of building and developing teams, and of working with a diverse, multicultural workforce</li> <li><strong>Fluent English</strong>; German is a strong plus </li> <li><strong>Nice to have: </strong>Lean / Six Sigma or similar continuous-improvement experience; familiarity with WMS systems and an interest in automation/AI in fulfillment; experience standing up new processes or sites</li> </ul> <h3 class="detail-block-title">Our offering</h3> <div> <ul> <li><strong>Build something that matters:</strong> Hive is redefining commerce operations in a €200B+ market.
