Product Manager, Routing

About The Role

We’re looking for a Product Manager for Routing to join our Group Operations team at Instabee. In this role, you’ll own one of the most business-critical product areas in Instabee — routing, at the very core of our last-mile operations.

You’ll be the dedicated Product Manager for two engineering teams, working in a close collaboration together with an Engineering Manager and a Staff Engineer. Your mission is to set direction, priorities, and roadmap, and ensure we deliver solutions that drive real operational and financial impact across our markets.

This is not a traditional UX-heavy PM role. It’s a highly analytical, business-driven role where you’ll work close to operations, dig deep into data, build business cases, and translate complex real-world challenges into scalable product and operational solutions. The cost impact of your decisions will be visible directly in the P&L.

Some of the things you will do

• Own the product strategy, roadmap, and prioritisation for the Routing product area
• Act as Product Manager for two engineering teams, working closely with Engineering Manager and Staff Engineer
• Translate complex operational and optimisation challenges into clear product initiatives — both technical and non-technical
• Drive continuous improvements in cost efficiency, last-mile quality, and scalability across markets
• Define, own, and follow up on routing KPIs, dashboards, and data-driven performance insights
• Lead initiatives end-to-end: from problem discovery and analysis to rollout and measurable impact
• Act as the key interface between market operations and tech, ensuring adoption, alignment, and business value
  
  

Your future team

You’ll be part of Group Operations, a central team working across Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and the Netherlands. You’ll collaborate closely with market operations, routing specialists, and engineering — often working very close to where things actually happen.

You’ll work with two dedicated development teams located across Stockholm and Norway, in an agile setup with short iterations and a strong delivery focus. You’ll report to the Head of Product in Operations, and work closely with senior routing and operations counterparts across the organisation.

What We're Looking For

You’re a strong analytical problem-solver with solid business acumen and a genuine interest in operations. You’re comfortable owning a large and complex scope, making trade-offs, and backing decisions with data and clear reasoning.

• 4–5+ years of experience in product management, business development, operations, or similar analytical roles
• Relevant academic background
• Proven ability to analyse complex optimisation or operational problems and turn them into actionable initiatives
• Strong business understanding and experience building business cases and prioritising based on impact
• Comfortable working with data, KPIs, and performance reporting
• Strong stakeholder management skills across functions and seniority levels
• Fluent in English; Swedish is beneficial
  
  

More about youYou’re structured, independent, and comfortable working in ambiguity. You don’t wait for perfect data — you know how to move forward, test, and iterate. You enjoy working close to operations, talking to stakeholders, visiting terminals, and validating insights in the real world — not just in dashboards.

You’re more driven by impact than process, and while you understand product frameworks, you’re equally comfortable driving operational change when that’s what creates the most value.

• Experience from last-mile delivery, logistics, or large-scale operations
• Background in analytical roles such as consulting, operational excellence, or strategy
• Experience working with tools such as Tableau, Snowflake, or similar data platforms
• Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills
  
  

What You’ll Get

• A role with direct and visible impact on cost, efficiency, and operational performance
• Ownership of a business-critical product area with real decision-making authority
• A highly competent, collaborative, and genuinely nice team to work with
• The opportunity to build, improve, and see results fast — at real scale

• 🌇 Sky-High Office: Modern and newly renovated with a 360-degree view around Stockholm.
