About Romi

Romi is a London-based company rethinking short-distance urban mobility by optimising the everyday errand economy. Positioned between micromobility and car-sharing, we provide an on-demand mobility solution designed for quick, practical city trips. Whether it’s a commute, a shop, or a quick run across the borough, Romi gives users a faster, simpler, and weather-proof way to get things done. We’re launching with a pilot fleet and building a scalable, data-driven platform focused on high utilisation, smart fleet operations, and real-world user behaviour.

The Role

We’re looking for someone to own everything that happens on the ground - from real-time execution to how the system is designed, structured, and scaled. This is a high-impact, founder-adjacent role at the core of the business. You’ll be responsible for making sure the system actually works: vehicles where they should be, operations running efficiently, and the city relationships set up properly.Beyond day-to-day execution, you’ll be actively involved in shaping how the business operates - working across operations, partnerships, and key external relationships as we grow.

What You’ll Do

  • Own day-to-day operations
  • Manage and coordinate fleet logistics in real time (movement, availability, turnaround)
  • Oversee charging, maintenance, and vehicle readiness
  • Define how we operate physically (hubs, service points, vehicle flows)
  • Work with local councils (parking, permissions, compliance)
  • Manage relationships with key stakeholders, including:
  • Councils and parking providers
  • Infrastructure and parking partners
  • Suppliers and operational vendors
  • Support fundraising and strategic discussions where relevant
  • Identify and solve operational and business bottlenecks quickly
  • Help design and improve systems as we scale

Who We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years experience in operations / startups / consulting or similar
  • Strong business mindset with deep understanding of how companies operate end-to-end
  • Comfortable operating in fast-paced, ambiguous and unpredictable environments
  • Hands-on and execution-focused
  • Structured thinker and strong problem solver
  • Strong communicator, confident interacting with external stakeholders
  • Bonus if:Experience in mobility, logistics or other operations-heavy businesses
  • Exposure to working with external stakeholders (e.g. partners, regulators, investors)
  • Strong analytical or problem-solving background

Compensation

  • Salary: £40,000 – £55,000 (depending on experience)
  • Equity package is available for early hires, with significant upside as the company scales

This role is for you if:

  • You work well in fast-changing environments without losing structure
  • You’re excited about building something from scratch
  • You want to take ownership of one of the most critical parts of the business
  • You are keen to gain exposure to all aspects of building a company, from operations and strategy to fundraising and stakeholder management
  • You prefer fixing real problems over building slides
  • You want to take ownership early and grow into a leadership role
