Company Description

We are Flink — your online supermarket that is revolutionizing the way you shop for groceries. We offer a broad assortment of high-quality products and deliver them to your home within minutes. Our customers are always our top priority — we make sure every product we deliver is fresh.

Flink moves fast — and so do the people who thrive here. The culture is hands-on and no-nonsense: things get built, fixed, and improved in real time, not in meetings. There's a strong sense of ownership at every level, and our Hub leadership is expected to lead from the floor, not from the sidelines. It's a place where operational sharpness and people skills matter equally — because without a motivated team, the orders don't go out.

About the Hub Manager position:

As a Hub Manager (m/f/d), you are responsible for the hub performance — leading your team, owning your operation, and taking full responsibility for everything that happens within the hub. You live by Flink’s standards and KPI’s: from the efficiency of your picking and delivery operations to the culture on the floor. You make sure every customer gets their order on time and in perfect condition, while building a team that's motivated, capable, and growing.

What's in it for you? A competitive salary, real ownership over your hub's performance, and genuine opportunities to grow within a fast-moving company — plus a discount on your own Flink groceries.

If you're ready to take ownership and lead from the front, apply now.
