About the team

The BOSS team (Business Operations & Supply Strategy) sits at the core of Deliveroo’s Commercial organisation. If Sales and Account Management are the engine of the commercial machine, BOSS is the cockpit: steering priorities, setting direction, enabling scale, and introducing the right level of friction to ensure quality and sustainability.

As the Commercial department has doubled in size, the need for strong operational foundations has become critical. The Commercial Operations Specialist will play a key role in enabling our Sales and Account Management teams to perform at their best, by streamlining processes, building simple and effective tools, and ensuring operational excellence across the commercial perimeter.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working close to the business, translating strategy into execution, and acting as a bridge between commercial teams, systems, and data.
