Lime is the world's largest shared electric vehicle company. We’re on a mission to build a future where transportation is shared, affordable and carbon-free. Our electric bikes and scooters have powered 400+ million rides in 250+ cities on 5 continents, replacing an estimated 100+ million car trips.

• Make strategic decisions about where to invest, how to scale, and how to be more efficient
• Define the metrics that measure warehouse performance and hold local and cross-functional teams accountable
• Design and lead innovative pilots that keep our warehouse operations on the cutting edge
• Partner with product to define the tech roadmap for warehouse ops
• Travel to local markets 20-30% of the time to understand their needs, check-in on pilots, and build relationships
