• 6-8+ years in operations, market/city launch, general management, or field operations ideally at a startup that has scaled a physical, multi-location or multi-market operation (on-demand, retail, healthcare, or similar).
• Direct experience owning a P&L or unit economics for a business line, store, or market and comfortable with break-even analysis, not just execution.
• Strong vendor and partner negotiation skills, you'll be the face of Dutch to retail partners and local vendors.
• Comfortable with genuine ambiguity: this business line doesn't have a playbook yet, and part of the job is writing the first one.
• Willingness and ability to travel 60%+ during active launch periods including weekends.
• Nice to have: experience in veterinary, healthcare, or another regulated field where compliance and licensing are part of standing up a new market.
