Product Manager, Routing

About the role
We’re looking for a Product Manager for Routing to join our Group Operations team at Instabee. In this role, you’ll own one of the most business-critical product areas in Instabee — routing, at the very core of our last-mile operations.

You’ll be the dedicated Product Manager for two engineering teams, working in a close collaboration together with an Engineering Manager and a Staff Engineer. Your mission is to set direction, priorities, and roadmap, and ensure we deliver solutions that drive real operational and financial impact across our markets.

This is not a traditional UX-heavy PM role. It’s a highly analytical, business-driven role where you’ll work close to operations, dig deep into data, build business cases, and translate complex real-world challenges into scalable product and operational solutions. The cost impact of your decisions will be visible directly in the P&L.

Some of the things you will do

  • Own the product strategy, roadmap, and prioritisation for the Routing product area

  • Act as Product Manager for two engineering teams, working closely with Engineering Manager and Staff Engineer

  • Translate complex operational and optimisation challenges into clear product initiatives — both technical and non-technical

  • Drive continuous improvements in cost efficiency, last-mile quality, and scalability across markets

  • Define, own, and follow up on routing KPIs, dashboards, and data-driven performance insights

  • Lead initiatives end-to-end: from problem discovery and analysis to rollout and measurable impact

  • Act as the key interface between market operations and tech, ensuring adoption, alignment, and business value

Your future team
You’ll be part of Group Operations, a central team working across Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, and the Netherlands. You’ll collaborate closely with market operations, routing specialists, and engineering — often working very close to where things actually happen.

You’ll work with two dedicated development teams located across Stockholm and Norway, in an agile setup with short iterations and a strong delivery focus. You’ll report to the Head of Product in Operations, and work closely with senior routing and operations counterparts across the organisation.

What we're looking for
You’re a strong analytical problem-solver with solid business acumen and a genuine interest in operations. You’re comfortable owning a large and complex scope, making trade-offs, and backing decisions with data and clear reasoning.

  • 4–5+ years of experience in product management, business development, operations, or similar analytical roles

  • Relevant academic background

  • Proven ability to analyse complex optimisation or operational problems and turn them into actionable initiatives

  • Strong business understanding and experience building business cases and prioritising based on impact

  • Comfortable working with data, KPIs, and performance reporting

  • Strong stakeholder management skills across functions and seniority levels

  • Fluent in English; Swedish is beneficial

More about you
You’re structured, independent, and comfortable working in ambiguity. You don’t wait for perfect data — you know how to move forward, test, and iterate. You enjoy working close to operations, talking to stakeholders, visiting terminals, and validating insights in the real world — not just in dashboards.

You’re more driven by impact than process, and while you understand product frameworks, you’re equally comfortable driving operational change when that’s what creates the most value.

  • Experience from last-mile delivery, logistics, or large-scale operations

  • Background in analytical roles such as consulting, operational excellence, or strategy

  • Experience working with tools such as Tableau, Snowflake, or similar data platforms

  • Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills

What you’ll get

  • A role with direct and visible impact on cost, efficiency, and operational performance

  • Ownership of a business-critical product area with real decision-making authority

  • A highly competent, collaborative, and genuinely nice team to work with

  • The opportunity to build, improve, and see results fast — at real scale


Of course, we have all the necessary and standard benefits in place, but in addition to this, we can also offer:

  • 🌇 Sky-High Office: Modern and newly renovated with a 360-degree view around Stockholm.

  • 🐶 Puppy Friendly: Bring your dog to work - we've got a whole floor for our furry friends!

  • 🏓 Fun & Games: Ping pong, Shuffleboard, Foosball, and even a Karaoke Room for your leisure time.

  • 👶 Parental Pay for Six Months: Step away from work and provide the best care and love to your little one.

  • 🎂 A Day Off on Your Birthday: We love to celebrate, so enjoy your birthday to the fullest with a day off each year!

  • ⏰ Hybrid setup and flexible working hours

Diversity and inclusion are very important to us and we are committed to creating an inclusive work environment. We want to be a workplace where everyone’s perspectives and opinions are valued, and we are dedicated to creating opportunities for all employees to thrive and reach their full potential.

Get to know us

In 2022, Instabee was founded after combining Budbee and Instabox - two leading last-mile delivery companies with three consumer-facing brands: Budbee, Instabox, and Porterbuddy. Instabee serves millions of consumers across Europe with convenient deliveries and is on track to become the leading European e-commerce enabler. Always with the consumer at heart.

We’re fast, both in terms of parcel delivery and when it comes to growing our business. So far our journey has taken us from Sweden to the rest of Scandinavia and parts of continental Europe, but we have no plans on stopping anytime soon. As we continue to expand, the complexity of Instabee grows in parallel. With that in mind, we’re now looking for you to help us on the journey ahead.

This recruitment process consists of background checks via Verifiera as a review of previous public criminal records. The result is public information that is handled confidentially. This is mandatory for all recruitment processes at Instabee in Sweden.
