About Peddler

At Peddler, we focus on making cities more sustainable through fast, smart, and efficient last-mile delivery. By partnering with over 500 local stores on our platform, we strengthen local retailers in our cities and connect them to consumer demand using innovative technologies. Our established network enables us to offer same-day delivery from individual stores, leading retail chains, and globally recognized brands with our 100% electric fleet.

Our mission is to transform current urban logistics into a fully sustainable network - beyond local retail. We achieve this in collaboration with international partners who supply our city hubs, after which we handle the last-mile delivery with our electric fleet. By joining Peddler, you become part of a company that values sustainability and innovation, playing a key role in our mission to transform last-mile delivery.

Why We Need You :

Riders form the beating heart of our operation and company. Without riders, Peddler cannot be active and successful. We are currently expanding to multiple cities and need to provide our large and motivated group of cyclists with working shifts in each of these locations. As a Planner, you will help us achieve this!

Your Role :

This role involves coordinating and organizing the schedules for Couriers in various cities. You'll use forecasts provided by our Operations team to plan when and where riders are needed and adjust schedules if some riders are unavailable. You'll also communicate with HR regarding your needs, the riders’ attendance, and other HR-related matters. Additionally, you'll stay in close contact with the Rider Controller, providing updates on the status of the riders and ensuring that there are enough riders to meet daily delivery targets. Furthermore, when challenges arise, you'll collaborate with the recruitment team to meet scheduling requirements. Overall, your responsibilities include weekly scheduling and daily management to ensure smooth and efficient delivery operations - so this role is pretty communicative.
