Special Projects Lead

🦄 About Flipdish

We’re Flipdish, an Irish unicorn (valued at over $1bn), serving independent restaurants in a world transformed by tech. No matter how fast Flipdish has grown, we’ve evolved around our customers and their needs. We’re not just an end-to-end ecosystem of technology, but a team committed to supporting people in the food industry.

We go to great lengths to understand our customers (check out our C-suite on work experience). We’re food industry natives. We’ve worked in busy kitchens and run busy restaurant franchises. We don’t just help our customers deal with real-life problems — we give them a way to compete with the big chains, grow on their own terms, and fall back in love with what they do.

🎯 About the Role

We’re hiring a Special Projects Lead to drive high-impact initiatives across operations, strategy, and product.

A core part of the role involves managing our Google Business Profile (GBP) systems — including reinstatements, access management, and profile optimization — but this is far from a single-lane role. You'll work across a broad range of strategic projects involving cross-functional collaboration, automation, internal tooling, and experimentation.

We’re looking for someone who moves fast, works independently, and brings structure to messy problems.

🛠 Responsibilities

• Own GBP reinstatements, access control, profile defense, and performance tracking; serve as Flipdish’s internal expert on GBP

• Manage escalations and liaise with Google Support

• Build dashboards (e.g. Metabase) and tools to monitor GBP and project health

• Collaborate with Support, Onboarding, Engineering, and Commercial teams on tooling, processes, and system sync

• Lead special projects and pilots across the business — from design through execution

• Present insights, recommendations, and updates clearly to stakeholders

✅ Requirements

• 3-5 years’ experience in operations, strategy, or special projects roles

• Proven, hands-on experience managing Google Business Profiles at scale, including reinstatements, support escalations, and GBP best practices

• Strong problem-solving skills with a structured approach and a bias for execution

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills

• Comfortable with tools like Notion, Zapier, Google Sheets, and Metabase

• Exposure to BizOps, Chief of Staff, or enablement-style roles

• Familiarity with AI tools or prompt automation

🚀 Why Join Flipdish?

• Be part of a high-growth, globally recognised company at the forefront of the food-tech industry

• Collaborate with a talented and diverse team from around the world

• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on Flipdish’s growth and success

• Competitive salary and benefits package

• A supportive and inclusive work environment

🫀 Our Culture

At this point, you might expect the usual spiel about how great Flipdish is to work at (and it is!). But that all depends on our people — because we trust our employees to define what kind of employer Flipdish is.

• Transparency is hugely important to us

• We listen to one another

• We collaborate and support growth

• We focus on output and team energy, not attendance tracking

If you’re looking to join a genuinely friendly team, take a look at our current openings — and even if you don’t see something right now, feel free to register your interest. We’ll be in touch when something suitable comes up.

🙈 Don’t Be Shy. Apply.
