Everyone's welcome at Bolt, regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity.

We’re on a mission to make cities for people, not cars, and we need you to make it happen!



As an Operations Specialist, you will have a direct and tangible impact on local operations that you can see in real-time. If you’re ready to take full ownership of your work, disrupt the marketplace, and shape movement patterns in the urban landscape – here’s your chance!

You will lead local operations projects and work closely with other cross-functional and HQ stakeholders to support our mission of making cities more sustainable, accessible, and affordable.




  • Hands-on demand management - working autonomously and taking initiative through the stages of rider acquisition, conversion, activation, and retention.
  • Review core metrics, build relationships with key partners, and execute your supply, demand, and investment strategies.
  • Creating, optimizing, or even removing processes – efficiency is our priority. You will help us find the smoothest way to run operations, solve challenges where others turn away, and influence the future direction of Bolt.
  • Taking ownership of projects that contribute to our overall market performance and operational efficiency, with the main goal of taking Bolt rides in Portugal to the next level.


  • You have 3+ years of experience in Operations, startups, or other relevant organizations, ideally with experience in analytical tasks.
  • You are a strong collaborator with excellent communication skills in English and Portuguese
  • You are highly analytical, with a data-driven mindset and excellent Excel/Google Sheets skills, yet you're not afraid to get your hands dirty when needed.
  • You are highly motivated to solve problems creatively and efficiently.
  • You thrive in a fast-paced environment
  • You are customer-oriented and will strive to strengthen our value proposition to ensure demand growth.


Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying if you feel you’re the kind of person described above!

 

  • Play a direct role in shaping the future of mobility
  • Impact millions of customers and partners in 500+ cities across 50 countries
  • Work in fast-moving autonomous teams with some of the smartest people in the world
  • Accelerate your professional growth with unique career opportunities
  • Get a rewarding salary and stock option package that lets you focus on doing your best work
  • Enjoy the flexibility of working in a hybrid mode
  • Take care of your physical and mental health with our wellness perks
  • Be part of an international and diverse team, in which we ensure a cooperative work environment
