Our Legal superstars have been an integral part throughout this journey - they’ve consistently been at the forefront of building and scaling legal and compliance operations in all of Wolt’s markets. In Israel, we have 4 lawyers, based in Tel Aviv. We’re now looking to hire to our legal team in Israel a temporary position (Maternity Leave), reporting to the Director, Legal Counsel (Israel) in Tel Aviv, heading the country’s legal team. 

We’re looking for someone who has the ability to tackle a number of complicated legal issues, with a practical, problem-solving approach.  People who do best at Wolt are those who proactively do useful things that no one told them to do and who tend to find a way when they know something needs to be done.  A solid understanding of e-commerce would be fantastic and it goes without saying that you are a true ‘people person’ :)
