Context

We want to be the preferred partner for couriers who are the backbone of our operations. Ultimately, providing a great delivery experience to our customers and merchants comes down to having a strong supply of engaged courier partners. We also see that experienced couriers are more efficient and deliver with a higher quality than new couriers, indicating that we can improve the efficiency and quality of the whole platform through retaining our courier partners longer. We are now looking for a Head of Courier & Delivery Experience to take the lead in shaping our courier partner vision and driving cross-functional improvement initiatives to help couriers reach their full potential.

For us, being the preferred partner is important throughout the courier lifecycle:

• providing an attractive opportunity for people seeking for an accessible and flexible income;
• supporting and incentivizing our new couriers to improve their earnings, quality, and efficiency;
• rewarding experienced and loyal couriers to continue delivering on our platform longer;
• and finally, supporting couriers to develop themselves beyond their time as Wolt courier partners. 

Being the preferred partner also means offering a best-in-class delivery experience by removing friction from the delivery process, be it waiting time, time lost figuring out what to do, or contacts to support that could have been avoided. Beyond individual deliveries, it is improving the courier app experience and making delivering with Wolt more fun and engaging.

Success in this role requires excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, as well as strong program management and analytical problem-solving abilities. You will be working closely with various Wolt teams, e.g. in Product, Communications, Legal & Public Policy, Sustainability, and Operations, and also need to be able to put yourself in the shoes of a courier partner. An ideal candidate is a strong visionary leader who is able to cut through complexity and balance between business opportunities and legal risks. You will need to be ready to roll up your sleeves, dig deep into data, do deliveries yourself, and talk with couriers to understand the problems and opportunities.
