Ready to lead the heartbeat of Instabee’s operations in Norway

About the role

We’re looking for a hands-on and driven Central Operations Manager to lead our Norwegian Central Operations team -- the hub connecting first, middle, and last-mile logistics for both our Box and Home services.

You’ll play a key role in one of Instabee’s largest and fastest-growing markets, ensuring our operations run smoothly, efficiently, and at scale. With strong growth foundations already in place, this is the time to push the pace -- driving continuous improvements, supporting expansion, and building a structure that can grow with us.

This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives on combining strategy and execution, and who wants to make a real impact in shaping how millions of parcels move across Norway.

Some of the things you will do

• Lead, coach, and develop a Central Operations team of six

• Take ownership of team results, including cost, quality, and delivery performance

• Identify, prioritise, and drive improvement initiatives that strengthen efficiency and scalability

• Ensure risk management processes and operational routines are in place and followed

• Align strategies and daily operations with Instabee’s long-term goals and targets

• Collaborate closely with Operations, Tech, and Commercial teams to secure seamless performance

• Ensure recruitment, onboarding, and capability development so the team has the right resources to succeed

Your future team

You’ll join a dedicated and ambitious Central Operations team based in Oslo. Together, the team manages our nationwide network and ensures that every parcel is handled with precision, care, and speed.

The atmosphere is fast-paced but friendly -- a place where people take ownership, help each other out, and celebrate wins together.

What we're looking for

• Experience from operations, logistics, or transport management

• A structured, analytical and improvement-driven mindset

• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with an empathic leadership style

• Fluency in Norwegian and English

• Leadership experience or clear leadership potential -- we value your drive to grow as a leader just as much as your current experience

More about you

• Have worked in a scale-up or fast-growing organisation

• Enjoy combining people leadership with operational excellence

• Thrive in a KPI-driven environment and love solving complex challenge

If this is you then we can’t wait to meet you!

What you’ll get

We can promise you that you will be challenged, develop your skills and have the

opportunity to work with truly amazing and competent colleagues. Of course, we have
all the necessary and standard benefits in place, but in addition to this, we can also
offer:

🌇 Modern and newly renovated office located in Oslo
⏰ Flexible Hours: Hybrid setup with working hours that adapt to your lifestyle
💻 Modern Tech Stack: Work with cutting-edge technology every day
🍻 Social agenda including afterworks, sports & other fun activities
💰 Good pension scheme and premium health insurance
🥗 Catered delicious food in the office 5 days per week

Diversity and inclusion are very important to us and we are committed to creating an
inclusive work environment. We want to be a workplace where everyone’s perspectives
and opinions are valued, and we are dedicated to creating opportunities for all
employees to thrive and reach their full potential.

Get to know us

In 2022, Instabee was founded after combining Budbee and Instabox - two leading last-mile delivery companies with three consumer-facing brands: Budbee, Instabox, and Porterbuddy. Instabee serves millions of consumers across Europe with convenient deliveries and is on track to become the leading European e-commerce enabler. Always with the consumer at heart.

We’re fast, both in terms of parcel delivery and when it comes to growing our business. So far our journey has taken us from Sweden to the rest of Scandinavia and parts of continental Europe, but we have no plans on stopping anytime soon. As we continue to expand, the complexity of Instabee grows in parallel. With that in mind, we’re now looking for you to help us on the journey ahead.

This recruitment process consists of background checks via Verifiera as a review of previous public criminal records. The result is public information that is handled confidentially. This is mandatory for all recruitment processes at Instabee in Sweden.
