Role Background

Wolt is a Finnish technology company and we’re best known for our food delivery platform. We launched in Almaty in September 2019, and have since been conquering the food delivery scene step by step.

Wolt has been growing rapidly in Kazakhstan ever since we entered the market. As such we now need someone to lead and develop our restaurant development team!

For Wolt, everything starts with restaurants. If there are no restaurants, there are no customers and if there are no customers, there are no couriers. Thus, restaurant operations are a crucial part of Wolt’s success in every city and country. Today, our restaurant operation is split into three sections: acquisition, onboarding and development.

As the Restaurant Development Team Lead you’ll be responsible for building our Account Management team and optimizing venue performance and driving revenue growth. The team manages and develops our restaurant portfolio and its key metrics to benefit customers, restaurant partners, courier partners and Wolt. We’re looking for someone who has a real passion for establishing strong relationships and has the ability to use strong analytical thinking to identify improvement areas by testing, implementing, and evaluating actions. This is a dynamic and multifunctional team and you’ll be at the forefront of defining how we work with restaurant partners going forward.
