About DeliveryApp

At DeliveryApp, we’re redefining what modern logistics looks like. With our tech-first approach, we connect businesses with a flexible and sustainable courier network across the UK and beyond. As we continue our rapid growth journey, we’ve secured major strategic partnerships with numerous significant Chinese e-commerce retailers – and we’re looking for a high-calibre Operations Manager to join us at this exciting moment.

The Role

As Operations Manager, you will play a pivotal role in managing and expanding our relationship with key Chinese e-commerce clients.

You will act as the bridge between our operational teams, the client’s China-based and UK-based personnel, and our leadership team.

You’ll be responsible for day-to-day service performance, client communications, process optimisation, and supporting commercial expansion across the UK and international markets.

You’ll be hands-on, solution-oriented, and comfortable in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

With the majority of the client’s team speaking only Mandarin, your bilingual skills will be essential to ensuring seamless communication and world-class service delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Client Relationship Management: Act as the main operational contact for the Chinese e-commerce clients, managing daily interactions and ensuring exceptional service standards.
• Service Performance: Oversee delivery performance, SLA adherence, and continuous improvement of operational processes.
• Bilingual Communication: Communicate fluently in Mandarin and English with both internal and external stakeholders, ensuring cultural and operational alignment.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the Head of Operations, COO, CRO, FD and tech support to execute growth initiatives and resolve challenges swiftly.
• Account Growth Support: Support strategic planning and commercial expansion of the account in the UK and internationally, identifying opportunities to scale services.
• Reporting & Insights: Monitor performance metrics, prepare weekly/monthly reports, and drive data-driven decision-making for the account.
• Stakeholder Training & Support: Help onboard and educate both client personnel and internal teams on processes, technology tools, and service expectations.

What We’re Looking For

• Fluency in Mandarin Chinese and English (verbal and written)
• 3-5 years of experience in logistics, transport, supply chain, or parcel delivery operations
• Proven experience managing large or complex customer accounts
• Strong communication, interpersonal and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment with a startup mindset
• Analytical thinking with a hands-on approach to problem-solving
• Experience working with Chinese businesses or within the Asia-Europe logistics corridor is a strong plus

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a mission-driven, high-growth logistics tech company
• Help shape the future of e-commerce logistics
• Join a collaborative, agile and international team
• Enjoy a culture that champions innovation, ownership, and growth
• Competitive salary + benefits + career progression
