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.
About the Role
At Wolt-like companies, people move fast — and so do challenges. As an Employee Relations Specialist, you’ll be the go-to expert for complex employee matters, helping leaders make fair, consistent, and legally sound decisions while keeping our culture respectful, human, and inclusive.
You’ll work closely with HR, Legal, and Leadership to navigate sensitive situations, manage risk, and continuously improve how we support our people.
What You’ll Do
- Act as a trusted advisor to managers and employees on employee relations and labor law matters
- Handle complex and sensitive employee cases, including performance concerns, misconduct, grievances, and conflicts
- Lead and support internal investigations (e.g. code of conduct, harassment, whistleblowing cases)
- Support disciplinary actions and offboarding processes in a fair, compliant, and people-centric way
- Partner closely with HR Business Partners, Legal, Compliance, and external counsel when needed
- Collaborate with employee representatives / works councils where applicable
- Ensure compliance with local labor laws, internal policies, and global ER standards
- Identify patterns and ER risks, and proactively recommend preventative actions
- Contribute to ER policies, playbooks, manager guidance, and training sessions
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience in Employee Relations, Labor Law, or HR with a strong ER focus
- Solid knowledge of local labor law; experience in international or matrix organizations is a plus
- Confident handling of sensitive, high-impact employee cases
- Strong judgment, empathy, and the ability to stay calm in complex situations
- Clear, pragmatic communicator who can influence without authority
- High integrity, discretion, and a solution-oriented mindset
- Fluency in German and English
Why You’ll Love Working Here
- A people-first culture with high trust and autonomy
- Real impact on how employee relations are handled in a fast-scaling tech environment
- Close collaboration with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams
- Competitive compensation and benefits
- A company that values transparency, fairness, and continuous improvement
