Job Description

<gh-intro>
<text>

Bolt is one of Europe and Africa's fastest-growing mobility platforms — and Estonia is our home market. This is a rare chance to own and shape the core ride-hailing business where it all began: full strategic and operational accountability, a high-performing team to lead, and direct impact on how millions of people move through cities.
