About This Role
This role focuses on expanding Lime's delivery pilot in London by recruiting couriers and building relationships with ghost kitchens. You'll also identify optimal locations for battery swap stations and provide hands-on support to the courier community, directly influencing the pilot's success and scalability.
💡 A Day in the Life
Start the day checking WhatsApp groups for courier questions, then visit 2-3 ghost kitchens to strengthen relationships and recruit new partners. Afternoon might involve scouting potential battery swap locations, logging observations, and preparing a weekly feedback report for the team.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics
Based on this role, you may be asked about:
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Being too generic about community involvement—avoid saying 'I'm active in delivery communities' without specific examples (e.g., group names, meetups, or initiatives).
- Focusing only on recruitment without showing understanding of operational aspects like battery swap station placement or day-to-day support.
- Neglecting to mention your analytical side—this role requires turning feedback into reports, so don't skip examples of data use.
