About Wolt

At Wolt, we create technology that brings joy, simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the world. In 2014 we started with delivery of restaurant food. Now we’re building the delivery of (almost) everything and you’ll find us in over 500 cities in 30 countries around the world. In 2022 we joined forces with DoorDash and together we keep on dreaming big and expanding across the globe.

Working at Wolt isn’t always easy, but it’s definitely exciting. Here you’ll learn more, build more, and ship more than in most other companies. You’ll be challenged a lot, but also have a lot of fun on the way. So, if you’re a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, this could be the ride of your life.

Wolt’s Global Sustainability team manages a five pillar Sustainability Strategy covering all business verticals and the 30+ countries that Wolt operates in. We’re seeking a proactive and collaborative Sustainability Specialist - Social Impact to support Wolt’s growing global sustainability efforts, with a focus on creating social impact programs that support Wolt’s efforts to support the communities we operate in. Reporting to the Global Sustainability Manager, this role will lead the development and execution of strategic sustainability initiatives, spanning social impact, environmental programs, and community engagement. Examples of initiatives that you may kick start the role with are streamlining customer fundraising and food rescue solutions. 

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Strategy & Cross-Functional Collaboration - Support the development and implementation of a social impact strategy and annual plan for Wolt that builds on our existing programs and initiatives. Work closely with teams such as DEI, Product, Marketing, Legal, Finance and Operations to ensure a unified approach to social impact that aligns with Wolt’s and Door Dash’s broader sustainability and business goals.
  • Process & Project Management -  Help maintain and improve processes for social impact initiatives across our 30+ countries, including establishing processes and drafting concept notes and playbooks.

  • Partnership Management - Support the initiation and management of global partnerships focused on food insecurity, food waste reduction, and courier partner social inclusion. Serve as a key point of contact for NGOs, nonprofits, and other partners, escalating complex matters as needed. 
  • Community Engagement  - Support local teams in implementing community programs, helping coordinate between regional offices and local organizations. (e.g., assist regional and People teams to implement a global employee volunteering program). 
  • Measurement & Impact Analysis - Collaborate with the analytics team to establish and track key metrics for social impact initiatives. Help compile and analyze program data, creating regular reports to showcase progress and identify areas for improvement.
