Wolt is a Helsinki-based technology company that provides an online platform for consumers, merchants and couriers. It connects people looking to order food and other goods with people interested in selling and delivering them. To enable this, Wolt develops a wide range of technologies from local logistics to retail software and financial solutions – as well as operating its own grocery stores under the Wolt Market brand. Wolt’s products include Wolt+ (subscription service for customers), Wolt for Work (meal benefits and office deliveries for companies), Wolt Drive (fast last-mile deliveries for merchants) and Wolt Self-Delivery (service for merchant partners with their own delivery staff). 

Wolt’s mission is to make cities better by empowering and growing local communities. Wolt was founded in 2014 and joined forces with DoorDash in 2022. DoorDash operates in 29 countries today, 25 of which are with the Wolt product and brand.

Role background

Wolt is known for its customer-obsession and great support experience. We are fast, local, and personal: we have local customer support in all the countries we’re in, and more than 3,000 real humans answering customers and partners in their own language. Ultimately, we have no license to operate if we do not serve our customers in a brilliant way, and therefore we are pushing for the best real-time customer support in the world.

Global Support Operations is a task force within Wolt that helps our countries scale quality support, deliver amazing customer experience and drive operational excellence as we continue to grow. We shape and drive long-term strategy, scalable processes, and sustainable business models globally across our entire base of support operations. We work closely with our local teams, general management and key functional leaders across dimensions such as product and analytics, and drive forward company-wide projects with high strategic importance. 

We are now looking for an experienced Workforce Planning Manager to join the team and play a critical role improving our operating models across our markets. Join one of the most successful growth companies in Europe, disrupt the delivery industry and improve the daily life of millions of people.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of developing a strategy and executing on programs to drive improvements on our workforce management processes globally, ensuring we have correct staffing levels to meet support requirements, have accurate forecast capabilities, monitor productivity and service levels, and manage the backend administration, compliance and HR requirements for all Wolt countries. 

To succeed in the role, you must be comfortable working at both ends of the spectrum - you’ll be building the high-level strategy and also rolling up your sleeves to get things done! In return, you’ll get to say you and your team have scaled world-class support across 25 countries.

• Scheduling: Ensure we are minimizing over and under-staffing. You will work with local teams to ensure that shifts are created and filled according to demand, balancing service levels with cost. You will also over time manage live operations, helping react to spikes in demand or increase in absenteeism. 
• Working closely with Wolt leadership and cross-functional teams (Product, Analytics, Marketing, Operations) to achieve all of this.

• You have a strong track record of delivering results in the Support and WFM space
• Solid understanding of workforce management concepts.
• Experience in fast growing technology companies is a plus, as well as a working knowledge of supporting internal and outsourced support teams.

• Ability to translate data into actions, or analysing operative metrics and producing relevant KPIs.

• Proactive ownership mentality - an independent thinker who can work with limited guidance, but through grit and determination can deliver a successful outcome.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
• You are able to work from Helsinki, Berlin or Copenhagen and are open to travel. 

If you are creative, like moving fast, and thrive in a dynamic environment where you get to be proactive and figure out what to do (rather than wait to be told) – then apply today.
