About Wolt
Attention all doers! Here’s some food for thought: 23 countries, 250+ cities, 6000+ employees
with 93 nationalities, tens of thousands of restaurant and retail partners, more than a hundred
thousand courier partners. And we’re just getting started! In 2015 we launched with
restaurant food deliveries and over time we added groceries, gifts and other items. Now it’s
possible for our customers to get whatever they need, delivered quickly and reliably to their
front door. And supermarket shopping just got a whole lot easier. From grabbing a few basics
to doing a weekly shop – all the essentials are delivered in about 30 minutes from our very
own Wolt Market stores. Our tech brings together our customers, courier partners and
merchant partners in real time – calculating hundreds of millions of routes every day. We try to make every city we enter a better place – and by that we mean happier customers and
partners. We’re also super proud to have the #1 rated delivery app across the app stores.
At Wolt’s parent company, DoorDash, our mission to empower local economies shapes how
our team members move quickly, learn, and reiterate in order to make impactful decisions that display empathy for our range of users—from Dashers to merchant partners to consumers. DoorDash & Wolt are growing rapidly, which gives our team members the opportunity to share unique perspectives, solve new challenges, and own their careers. We’re committed to
supporting employees’ happiness, healthiness, and overall well-being and to fostering a
diverse, inclusive and sustainable environment.

This is because we believe diverse teams make the most thought-through decisions and build things in the most inclusive way.
Job Description
The newly-created STAR function at Wolt will play an exciting part in reimagining the role of

location selection of future talent hubs, while guiding geo expansion.

approach to talent identification, adopt a high-touch approach, carefully headhunting talent
and offering an outstanding candidate experience, considering each and every candidate as a first class citizen.
