Wolt is a technology company that makes it incredibly easy to discover and get the best restaurants, grocery stores and other local shops delivered to your home or office. We were founded in 2014 and joined forces with DoorDash in 2022 - of the 27 countries that DoorDash operates in today, 23 are with the Wolt product and brand.

To accelerate our journey beyond Restaurant food into Retail categories (e.g. Grocery, Health & Beauty, Pharmacy, Electronics etc.), we are looking for a Nordic Key Account Director, Retail to strengthen our global retail team.

Role background
In this role you will be directly driving the sales efforts for the biggest multinational retail partners in the Nordic region. You will work as part of the global team, but more importantly with all local markets in the region to ensure we get the best retail partners onboard. In this role you combine experience in enterprise sales and analytical performance management with commercial excellence to sign and grow new enterprise retail partners on Wolt.

The Nordic Key Account Director, Retail is responsible for negotiating, closing and executing deals with enterprise retailers, through collaboration with local teams. This person will help define and execute our regional retail enterprise sales strategy. Once partners have been onboarded to the platform, in one or multiple of our markets, this role will be taking part in ensuring their success and sales expansion.

You will lead complex, multi-party sales processes in a highly consultative manner. You are  capable of engaging in business level and P&L focused conversations with C-level executives at some of the biggest multinational retailers but you can also help further strengthen the skillsets of our retail sales force in the markets. You naturally gravitate toward using data and insights to drive sales and account performance on the client-side, as well as on Wolt’s side. You are not afraid to dive into the details and coordinate local initiatives to unblock complexities and facilitate growth. Finally, you enjoy building - you like to experiment with new things to further develop our sales process in ways that we may not have explored before.

What you’ll be doing
