Are you an ambitious manager with proven experience in leading a marketing team? Are you obsessed with growth and delivering next-level marketing campaigns? If this sounds like you, we’d love to speak with you!  

Role background

Wolt is a Finnish technology company and until recently, we’ve been best known for our food delivery platform. On our mobile app or website, customers can order everything from pizza to paracetamol and either pick it up at the venue or have it delivered by our courier partners.

We’ve been growing rapidly in Kazakhstan ever since we entered the market in 2019. From our humble start in Almaty, we’ve expanded to 6 other cities with even more growth planned in the coming months!

This growth has been achieved due to the incredible drive of our amazing team - we're motivated to grow even more and as such, we’re looking for like-minded people to help us achieve our next goals. We plan to scale even more as we go into 2022 and our new Marketing Manager will be a crucial part of this!

Reporting to the General Manager, you’ll be responsible for ensuring that we optimize our marketing budget and get the most ‘bang for our buck’.

This involves creating campaigns that span multiple channels and boosts both Wolt’s profile and market share in Kazakhstan. You’ll be expected to then build strong relationships with partner brands, influencers and the local media and thus need to know how and when to link impactful messages across digital, OOH and press, and then how to utilize your resources effectively.
