Operational Excellence Project Manager

**About BlaBlaCar**
BlaBlaCar is the world’s leading community-based travel network, connecting over 100 million members across 22 countries looking to carpool or travel by bus. By sharing rides and filling empty seats on the road, our community avoids 1.6 million tons of CO2 emissions every year (as if Paris was free of road traffic for a year)
We are a global and diverse team of 700+ people with 45+ nationalities, and headquartered in Paris. We’re constantly looking for new ways to leverage technology to create a more affordable, convenient, flexible and sustainable way to travel. And we are always on the lookout for people who care about making a positive impact.

The CEE & Latam business unit oversees development of BlaBlaCar’s carpool and bus marketplace products in Brazil, Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Serbia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, India, Mexico and Turkey. As per today, the bus market in those countries is mostly offline, with more than 80% of bus tickets being directly sold at bus stations or bus drivers. We aim at transforming these markets by making them digital for customers, and technologically advanced as well as convenient for bus carriers and partners. To do so, we have local teams on the ground formed by (i) Sales Managers who prospect and negotiate with carriers and (ii) Account Managers who nurture our relationships with them and negotiate the best offers for BlaBlaCar’s members.
