About this role
Job Summary
The Operations Partner is a critical logistical role essential to Bird's success in Calgary. You will take responsibility for the logistics of the local fleet of e-scooters and e-bikes, ensuring they are charged, safe, and positioned correctly to meet the community's transportation needs.
We are looking for entrepreneurial individuals or logistics businesses ready to hit the ground running. Whether you are a solo operator with a single van or a fleet owner capable of deploying multiple drivers, you can scale this partnership to fit your capacity.
You will have the flexibility to choose how you operate:

This is a pay-per-task opportunity where earnings are directly tied to output. Based on a fleet volume of approximately 500 vehicles daily, this role offers an earning potential of $2500 per week, with the opportunity to earn significantly more based on your speed and performance.
Important Details About the Role:
- This is an independent contractor position, not an employee role.

Must Haves
- Vehicle Access (Required): Must own or have consistent access to at least one large vehicle (van/truck) suitable for transporting multiple scooters/bikes. Fleet owners with multiple vehicles/drivers are encouraged to apply.
- Storage Space (Asset): Access to a garage, warehouse, or commercial facility with electricity is highly preferred for maximizing earnings (allows for overnight charging).
- License: Valid Class 5 Driver's License (or applicable commercial license) with a clean driving record for all operating drivers.
- Physical Ability: Ability to lift up to 50 pounds repeatedly; must be able to stoop, bend, walk, and stand for long periods while handling heavy equipment.
