Interim People Operations Manager

At foodora, we move fast — and so do our people processes. Our People Operations team keeps everything running behind the scenes: payroll, data, compliance, HR tickets and all the details that make work feel effortless for everyone else.

Now we’re looking for an Interim People Operations Manager to keep that machine running smoothly for 15 months. You’ll guide and support our People Operations team in Sweden, making sure we deliver high-quality service every single time. From looking into day-to-day operations and fine-tuning our reporting, to leading and supporting projects — you’ll be at the center of our People Ops engine.

If you’re someone who thrives in structure but loves a good problem to solve, reads dashboards like stories, and knows when to zoom out and when to dive deep — you might be our next teammate.

You enjoy turning complexity into clarity, spotting patterns in data, and translating insights into action. You’re organized, detail-oriented, and not afraid to challenge existing processes if there’s a better way to do things. With your collaborative mindset and positive energy, you’ll help us raise the bar for how People Operations runs at foodora.
