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 is more than just a food delivery operation – in fact we are built upon a solid foundation of state-of-the-art technology. Our Product+ organization which includes all of product development (engineering, design, product management and analytics), has grown from mere 20 people to 1000+ in the space of 7 years thanks to the efforts of this team. Our product development organization has more depth than meets the eye; Wolt builds almost all systems and tools it needs in-house, meaning we have 30+ teams working on 10+ different products.
Our Product+ talent acquisition team is currently a passionate team of 20+ split between our offices in Berlin. Helsinki and Stockholm, and formed into two teams; one focusing on Engineering hiring, and the other on Product Management, Design and Analytics. We hire for roles across 7 locations; mostly in Finland, Sweden and Germany, but also occasionally in Japan, Estonia, Denmark and Israel.

For the “people” you’ll be responsible for your team’s overall excellence in delivery, capacity planning, team engagement and day-to-day support on problem solving. For “business impact” you work closely with your stakeholder population and the business to understand & drive change, building meaningful strategies and implementing changes where talent acquisition can make a difference for the better. For “process”, you ensure we keep ahead of the curve in how we do the most effective hiring, advise your team on best practices, look for opportunities of improvement and rally the team behind them.
