Senior Operations Specialist, Marketplace

As a Senior Operations Specialist – Marketplace , you will play a pivotal role in shaping the performance and long-term health of Bolt's French marketplace. You will own pricing strategy across 50+ cities, making sure our value proposition remains compelling and competitively positioned — leveraging ongoing competitive intelligence to anticipate market shifts and sharpen our edge. Through recurrent city-level performance deep dives, you will turn data into action, identifying growth levers and addressing structural challenges across France. You will also drive investment decisions and partner closely with FP&A to co-lead planning cycles that define targets and forecasts — acting as a guardian of our value proposition by ensuring every strategic call is grounded in marketplace realities.

Partner closely with Product and Analytics to ensure pricing logic translates into tangible operational results.
• Serve as the go-to strategic partner for local P&L owners — helping them understand marketplace dynamics, challenge underperformance, and make confident decisions. Ensure the value proposition remains strong and consistent across cities by bridging the gap between central pricing strategy and local execution realities.
