Wolt is a Helsinki-based technology company that provides an online platform for consumers, merchants and couriers.

Wolt’s products include Wolt+ (subscription service for customers), Wolt for Work (meal benefits and office deliveries for companies), Wolt Drive (fast last-mile deliveries for merchants) and Wolt Self-Delivery (service for merchant partners with their own delivery staff). Wolt’s mission is to make cities better by empowering and growing local communities. Wolt was founded in 2014 and joined forces with DoorDash in 2022. DoorDash operates in 29 countries today, 25 of which are with the Wolt product and brand.

Role background

Wolt is a Finnish technology company and until recently, we’ve been best known for our food delivery platform. However, food delivery was just the start. We don’t want to just satisfy our customers’ hunger, but to deliver a wide variety of products and expand our platform to some cool retail shops, supermarkets, flowers, toys and other exciting products, all referred to as Retail.

To achieve this, we must first assemble the team of motivated sales superheroes who’ll secure the relationships with the retailers that our customers in Slovakia want to order from. That means your role as the Retail Sales Manager is to be the true ‘hunter’.

You’ll be tasked with building and managing your own pipeline of Retail partners to approach and sign up to Wolt. This requires a good understanding of both the most appropriate retailers across various verticals to prioritise, as well as strong communication and negotiation skills to get your targets through the sales funnel.

As time progresses and more Retail partners are onboarded, the targets and duties of the role may develop. This means that you must thrive in the ‘start-up’ environment where constant change means there’s always lots to get your teeth into!

Market research, seeking out and finding suitable retailers for the Wolt platform based on what Wolt customers currently desire most.

Creatively reaching out to potential partners across various regions of the country and establishing new relationships.

Explaining the real benefits of partnering with the Wolt platform to businesses that sometimes have no experience with e-commerce.

Negotiating business, marketing, and expansion terms of cooperation with both small shops and large enterprises, leading to long-term partnerships.

Managing dozens of open deals and leading them to the finish line.

Adjusting your focus based on team strategy and always prioritizing team goals.

Communicating with potential partners in person, online, over the phone, and in writing, both in Slovak/Czech and English.
 

Extensive sales experience, preferably in retail, such as supermarkets, FMCG, or alcohol wholesalers.

A natural ‘hunter’ with hunger to build and create a portfolio from the ground up.

Demonstrable consultative sales approach - someone that can build relationships and tailor our offering and business model to a specific partner based on various parameters.

Demonstrated ability to juggle multiple priorities and make things happen in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Excellent analytical skills - such as translating data into actions, or analyzing sales metrics and producing relevant KPIs.

Fluent in Czech/Slovak and English.

Driver's licence

If you are excited about working in a high-growth environment, taking ownership, and being part of an extremely ambitious team, then this is something for you!
