About AYTSFD
Atyourtime Secured Food Delivery is building a different kind of food delivery platform, designed around trust, security, accountability and verifiable chain of custody. At the heart of our proposition is our patented Tag & Scan technology, providing a secure verification layer throughout the delivery journey and connecting customers, restaurants, drivers and agents within one ecosystem.
With our core platforms now moving through testing and launch readiness, we are looking for an experienced Head of Operations to help take AYTSFD from pre launch into live operations and build the operational foundations needed to scale. This is not a traditional Head of Operations role where you inherit an established operation. We are looking for someone who is excited by the opportunity to build it with us.
What You’ll Be Doing
You will play a central role in turning our technology, commercial model and customer proposition into a practical, scalable operation. Your responsibilities will include:
- Taking ownership of operational readiness through testing, UAT, pilot launch and transition into live operations
- Building and managing our end to end operating model across restaurants, drivers, customers and agents
- Developing scalable processes for restaurant onboarding, activation, training, support and performance
- Establishing driver onboarding, background checking, compliance, activation, safety, performance and operational support processes
- Helping operationalise our Agent Growth Engine and its relationship with restaurant and business acquisition
- Managing relationships with relevant delivery partners, insurers, background check providers, POS and order management providers, aggregators and other third party partners
- Establishing SOPs, service standards, KPIs, dashboards, escalation processes, incident management and operational controls
- Ensuring our patented Tag & Scan security and verification model works effectively throughout the real world delivery journey
- Building an operating model capable of supporting our initial launch and subsequent UK expansion
- Helping define, recruit and lead the operational team required as the business grows
- Working closely with Product, Technology, Commercial, Marketing, Legal, HR and the wider leadership team
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who We’re Looking For
We would particularly like to hear from people who have helped build, launch or scale operations within food delivery, last mile delivery, logistics, mobility, marketplace platforms or other on demand businesses. You should understand the realities of operating a multi sided platform and be comfortable working in an environment where not everything has already been built for you.
Experience across restaurant or merchant operations, driver and courier networks, operational technology, third party integrations, launch programmes or marketplace operations would be particularly valuable. Most importantly, we are looking for someone who combines strategic thinking with hands on execution. We don't need someone who simply tells us what the operation should look like. We need someone who wants to help us build it.
Please Read This Before Applying
We want to be completely transparent about our remuneration model from the outset. This is currently an equity remunerated senior leadership opportunity during our pre revenue stage. There is no immediate cash salary attached to the role at this stage. The successful candidate will participate in the equity of the business under Atyourtime's standard equity and vesting framework. As the business progresses into live operations and sustainable revenue or funding, the intention is for the role to transition into an appropriately salaried leadership position through a separate employment arrangement. We recognise that this model will not suit everyone, and that is absolutely fine. Please only apply if you understand the structure, are genuinely comfortable with an equity remunerated role at this stage and have the capacity to contribute meaningfully during our launch journey. If you are currently looking for an immediate salaried position, this opportunity will unfortunately not be the right fit. We would much rather establish that alignment from the beginning and respect everyone's time.

Why Join Us?
You would be joining AYTSFD at an important point in our journey, where the technology we have been building is becoming an operating business. You will have the opportunity to influence how we launch, how our operational model works, how our security proposition operates in practice and how the business ultimately scales. You will work closely with our senior leadership team and have genuine ownership of one of the most important functions within the business. For the right person, this is much more than another Head of Operations position. It is an opportunity to help build the operational backbone of AYTSFD and participate in the value we create together.
Interested?
Please send your CV to careers@atyourtimetechnology.com with the subject: Application: Head of Operations, AYTSFD. When applying, please briefly confirm your relevant experience and, importantly, that you have read and are comfortable with the equity remuneration structure before progressing to interview.
We look forward to hearing from people who genuinely want to help us build the next stage of AYTSFD.
