Operations Manager – Camper Rental
Who we are
Indie Campers is a global leader in the on-the-road travel sector and manages one of the largest fleets of campers and RVs in the world. With a growing presence in Europe, North America, and Oceania, we are a rapidly expanding company with the mission to make travel more connected, meaningful, and accessible to everyone.
The City Lead plays a fundamental role in achieving this mission at a local level, ensuring high-quality rental operations, efficient service coordination, and a consistent, customer-oriented experience.
As the on-site operations manager, the City Lead drives operational excellence, team performance, and the entire customer journey in their city, serving as the link between global standards and their local application.
The role

Furthermore, the Junior City Lead reports to the District Manager and is responsible for controlling depot costs, ensuring efficient use of consumables, preventing unnecessary expenses, minimizing repetitive activities, and ensuring disciplined management of operating expenses.

Willingness to perform physical activities when necessary;
