About Wolt

At Wolt, we create technology that brings joy, simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the world. In 2014 we started with delivery of restaurant food. Now we're building the delivery of (almost) everything and you'll find us in over 500 cities in 30 countries around the world. In 2022 we joined forces with DoorDash and together we keep on dreaming big and expanding across the globe.

Working at Wolt isn't always easy, but it's definitely exciting. Here you'll learn more, build more, and ship more than in most other companies. You'll be challenged a lot, but also have a lot of fun on the way. So, if you're a self-starter with drive and entrepreneurial spirit, this could be the ride of your life.

Wolt is a Finnish technology company best known for our delivery platform. Since launching in 2014, we've grown from a small team in the Nordics to a global business operating in 31 countries and 500+ cities, with over 12,000 team members and more than 41 million registered users. Our mission is to make cities better places for customers, merchants, and couriers alike.

Wolt Market is our own network of curated grocery stores, designed to deliver a seamless and super-fast online grocery experience. After launching Wolt Market in several countries across Europe, we're now expanding in Romania – and this is where you come in.

We're looking for an Operations Manager to lead the day-to-day execution and growth of our Wolt Market operations in Romania. This is a unique opportunity to help build the future of grocery delivery from the ground up, while working in a high-impact, entrepreneurial environment.

As Operations Manager for Wolt Market Romania, you'll report directly to the Wolt Market General Manager and have full ownership of our store and delivery operations across the country. You will play a critical role in shaping how we operate, scale, and improve our performance—from day-to-day efficiency to long-term strategic growth.

You'll be responsible for leading a growing team of Store Managers and Grocery Associates, ensuring operational excellence across all our Wolt Market stores, while supporting expansion into new cities and locations.

This role also involves close collaboration with the Wolt Platform Operations team, particularly around delivery operations, to ensure a smooth and efficient end-to-end customer experience.
