🏢 About Lime

Lime is a leader in micromobility, operating shared e-scooters and bikes in over 200 cities globally. Their mission to build a future where transportation is shared, affordable, and carbon-free makes them a compelling choice for environmentally-conscious professionals. As a remote-first company with a strong operational focus, Lime offers the opportunity to impact real-world logistics and sustainability at scale.

About This Role

This role is critical to optimizing Lime's warehouse operations worldwide, where scooters and bikes are repaired and maintained. You'll design dashboards and metrics that directly influence repair efficiency, cost savings, and vehicle uptime. By turning data into actionable insights, you'll help Lime scale its operations while reducing environmental waste.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start your day by reviewing dashboards for overnight warehouse shifts, then jump into a SQL query to investigate a sudden dip in repair quality. Mid-morning, you'll meet with a regional operations manager to discuss a new metric for tool utilization. Afternoon is dedicated to building a Tableau prototype for tracking battery repair efficiency, followed by a presentation to the VP of Operations on cost-saving opportunities.
