Job description
๐ Tarragona | Full-time | Fluent ๐ช๐ธ & ๐ฌ๐ง At Bigblue, we're building the logistics backbone for the next generation of commerce. Modern brands sell everywhere: through their own online stores, marketplaces, retail, social commerce, and more. Across every channel, customers expect the same fast, reliable, and transparent experience after they buy. What used to be Amazon's exclusive advantage is now becoming the standard for every ambitious brand. We're helping them get there. Since 2018, we've built a tech-driven fulfilment platform used by 600+ brands, including Muji, Aigle, Scuffers, and Cabaรฏa. With 200+ Bigbluers across the UK, France, Spain, and Germany, our proprietary tech stack, and a network of 9 warehouses and over 100,000 sqm of fulfilment space across Europe, we ship millions of orders every month. And we're nowhere near done! Backed by โฌ20M+ in funding, we're expanding across Europe and building the operating system that will power modern commerce operations at a global scale. At Bigblue, we hold ourselves to a very high bar: in the quality of our product, the rigour of our operations, and the care we bring to every merchant we work with. You'll be working alongside talented people on real, high-impact problems, in an environment where high standards come with genuine support, ownership, and room to grow. If you want your work to matter from day one, you're in the right place. As Amazon is pouring billions into its e-commerce infrastructure, independent brands are struggling to offer the same level of trust and experience to their customers. They're now faced with a difficult choice: hop onto the Amazon train or lose customers every day. Bigblue helps independent brands fight back. Together with companies like Stripe and Shopify, we're arming the direct-to-consumer rebellion. [Shopify](https://jobs.lever.co/bigblue/shopify.com) powers their e-shop, [Stripe](https://stripe.com/) makes payment trivial, and we, [Bigblue](https://bigblue.co/) store and deliver their products around the world. **About the role ๐** *Location: our warehouse is located in Tarragona****, Spain*** Bigblue is looking for an experienced and results-driven Warehouse Manager to manage our Spain warehouse.
