How is felyx currently positioned?
Felyx is one of the few micro-mobility players in the world that is EBITDA positive on group level. We are a young company with more than a hundred employees, working in the operations or at the head office in Amsterdam. You can describe us as passionate, ambitious, entrepreneurial, and transparent. We are very proud of the fact that we have been named by Linkedin as a top start-up to work at for the second time in a row (2nd place), together with many other prestigious awards we’ve received since our start in 2017.
The role
As felyx is growing both nationally and internationally we need multiple GM’s. As General Manager Germany you will be involved in the launch of the first cities in Germany. When the cities are live, you will be responsible to drive revenue, oversee day-to-day business and run the full P&L for Germany while leading the young, talented team to success. In addition, the GM will be responsible for overall market performance and growth as well as building and strengthening the local team. The GMs’ team consists of multiple city managers, all with +5 years of working experience, and between 15 and 40 direct reports each. Other team members of the GM’s will be Fleet Managers, the Customer Service Team, Mechanics, the battery operation and of course local HR, Finance and Marketing. With the launch of each new city, we will welcome many new colleagues of course! For this role you will be based in Berlin, where you are expected to travel to the Netherlands regularly. In addition, you will visit the different cities that we will open in Germany.
Challenges abound in the German market: launching potential markets, out-competing the competition, deciding on the best approach to each individual city, winning over the German public to our form of shared mobility, to mention only a few. The biggest challenge in this role is therefore very clear: we want to grow, very very hard. And you will tell us with a clear vision and strategy how we will make that happen.
And important not to forget: we encourage you to grow with the company and within your role as we are continually on our journey towards ‘world domination’. Just kidding, market leader in Europe will do (for now).
Experience
Skills
What's in it for me?
An ambitious team of entrepreneurial colleagues with a shared passion for our mission. You will work in a transparent, fast-growing and inspirational environment in which you are able to take the lead over your own career and will get challenged on a daily basis! And next to that:
Last but not least: fun, freedom and trust! We're not scared to work our butts off, but this is only possible once we all experience joy in the work that we do every day.
We are very proud of the fact that we have been named by LinkedIn as a top start-up to work at for the second time in a row, together with many other prestigious awards we’ve received since our start in 2017. We are operational in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, Groningen, Haarlem, Eindhoven, Den Bosch and Brussels and will be launching many more (European) cities in 2021. We have a strong focus on scaling up internationally.
At felyx we believe that the best workplace is one that represents the world we live in today. This means we believe that diversity in the broadest sense of the word connects us and drives us forward as a company.
We believe that diversity goes hand in hand with different perspectives. It is these different perspectives that can help us become better and more innovative in finding solutions for our customers.
And because we believe this can be achieved, we are looking for colleagues who are intrinsically motivated and bring the right experience. Gender, age, sexual orientation or origin will never be a factor and will never become one.
We understand you might not tick all the boxes above. The truth is, we don't either. If you feel up for the ride, we encourage you to apply now!
