About us

Founded in 2015 in Athens, Greece, Welcome redefines the way people travel by going above and beyond the commoditized transfer service and being the first company to deliver a complete, personalised, in-destination travel experience.

The Team

We are a group of vibrant, diverse people who love travelling and never settle on quality. Each one of us didn’t join Welcome by chance and believes deeply in what Welcome is trying to achieve, so we work relentlessly to make that happen. We challenge common logic, focus on design, put simplicity and usability first, and create memorable experiences. We keep learning and exploring better ways to serve our community and grow personally and professionally in our respective fields. We stay humble along the way, with a “pay it forward” mentality, but with big and bold goals.

As a Destination Owner, you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day operational performance, driver engagement, and local health of one or more destinations within our network. You’ll own the outcomes — ensuring your destinations deliver on key operational KPIs such as fulfillment, quality, and efficiency — while maintaining close connections with the driver community and gathering insights from the field.

You’ll work closely with your Regional Destination Operations Manager and central teams to ensure each destination runs smoothly, is correctly configured, and reflects local realities in pricing, capacity, and product decisions. This role requires a balance of analytical thinking, local problem-solving, and strong relationship management.

Responsibilities

  • Own destination performance: Monitor and improve key KPIs (GFS, Great Rides %, Cost Efficiency, Supply Price Awareness Rate). Identify trends and root causes, and take proactive actions to keep destinations healthy.
  • Maintain operational setup: Ensure destination configurations (rings, routing, assignment/removal rules) are accurate, up to date, and aligned with company standards.
  • Gather and structure local insights: Capture reliable intelligence on pricing, driver costs, competitor pay, regulations, and community sentiment. Feed structured insights to the regional and central teams to influence pricing and capacity decisions.
  • Engage the driver community: Build visibility and trust with local drivers. Identify and manage ambassadors, collect feedback, and run initiatives to improve utilization, retention, and satisfaction.
  • Drive local initiatives: Organize and execute incentive campaigns, driver quests, or reactivation pushes. Track results and share learnings with the broader team.
  • Ensure compliance and quality: Monitor adherence to local regulations and company standards. Flag potential risks and take corrective actions quickly.
  • Adopt and champion new features: Support the rollout of new operational or product features, monitor adoption, and measure impact on local performance.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally: Act as the on-the-ground link between local operations, regional leadership, and central functions — ensuring alignment and fast issue resolution.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in operations, logistics, mobility, or marketplace management.
  • Proven track record of managing performance and executing improvement actions based on data insights.
  • Strong analytical skills — comfortable using dashboards, reports, and KPIs to guide decisions.
  • Hands-on problem solver with a proactive approach to spotting and addressing operational challenges.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management, able to build relationships across drivers, partners, and internal teams.
  • Understanding of local market conditions, including supply/demand dynamics, competitor landscape, and regulatory requirements.
  • Fluent in English and Spanish, with local language skills considered an advantage.
  • Energy and ownership mindset — you take responsibility for results and don’t wait to be told what to do.

Please send your CV in English.

Benefits

  • Vibrant and fresh work environment
  • The tools you need to perform your daily tasks successfully
  • L&D personal budget
  • +4 extra PTO days annually
  • The unique opportunity to join “the next big thing” at ground level

Welcome Pickups was founded in 2015 in Athens, Greece, with a mission to redefine how people experience new destinations. Many travelers face the challenge of navigating unfamiliar cities, dealing with unreliable transportation, and missing out on authentic local experiences. This is why Welcome Pickups goes beyond being a simple transfer service. We aim to be the first friendly face and a reliable source of local knowledge for every traveler from the moment they arrive until their departure. Our customers often express frustration with impersonal and fragmented travel services, which is why we focus on providing a seamless, personalized, and holistic in-destination experience. We understand that the first and last miles of a journey can significantly impact the overall travel experience, and our goal is to make these moments as frictionless, stress-free, and personalized as possible.

Our customers, whether individual travelers or business partners like hotels and travel agencies, seek reliability, transparency, and ease. We address this by allowing pre-booked rides at fixed prices, eliminating surprises and ensuring a stress-free arrival. Our professional, English-speaking drivers don't just offer transportation; they act as local guides, providing valuable tips and insights to enhance their trip. For our partners, such as hotels and vacation rentals, the challenge often lies in efficiently managing guest transfers while maintaining high service standards. Welcome Pickups provides a free, automated transfer solution that helps these businesses streamline guest transportation, improve customer satisfaction, and even generate ancillary revenue. We empower our customers with local knowledge to maximize their experience and focus on quality, carefully selecting drivers based on rigid standards. By offering services like real-time tracking, pre-paid stable pricing, skip-the-line tickets for attractions, and curated day trips, we provide a comprehensive solution for travelers looking for convenience, reliability, and a deeper connection with their destination. We are committed to leveraging technology to create hyper-personalized experiences, addressing the growing demand for tailored travel.
