Role Background
Wolt is a Finnish technology company and we’re best known for our food delivery platform. On our mobile app or website, customers can order their favorite meals from our restaurant partners, and either pick their order up or have it delivered by our courier partners.  

Just 2 years ago, Wolt operated in 4 countries and 10 cities across the Nordics. Fast forward to today, we’re in 22 countries and over 80 cities across EMEA, servicing over 5M registered users. 

Wolt has been growing rapidly in Denmark ever since we entered the market in 2017. We’re now in 8 cities and continuously expanding on our delivery areas. Our current support network consists of 3 leads and approximately 40 support associates who cover support through all of Denmark. At Wolt, our support teams are the glue that holds together the marketplace. We are the fastest growing team in Wolt and will continue to grow to be half a dozen sub-teams in the coming years.  

As such, we are currently looking for our new Head of Support to lead Denmark’s whole Support organization! As part of Wolt Denmark’s management team, you will work closely with our ops and restaurant teams to ensure we are delivering the ‘best in the world’ service on all fronts from our customers to our partners. In addition, you will spar with our Global Head of Support on any product or feature improvements.  

This is a brand new role for us and we’re looking for someone to take our support organisation to the next level. So, we are looking for someone with senior skills and junior enthusiasm.

If you have what it takes, we look forward to hearing from you! 

What you will be doing

  • Manage, mentor & motivate: You will manage several teams within the support organisation. This includes acting as a sparring partner for the Customer Support Team Leads and helping them raise the bar in their teams.
  • Problem solving: You will be both proactive and reactive with incoming and foreseen problems that may occur in support. You will influence a solution-oriented mindset and ensure we are implementing best practices and ways of working. 
  • Driving performance: You will be a driving force to ensure we are delivering the best support to our customers and partners. Your analytical mindset will dig into our support metrics to make the best kind of decisions and set the right expectations. 
  • Strategise and execute: You will utilise our internal data tools to help you develop a sustainable strategy then execute on it. Your focus will be on constant improvements and maintaining a high level of satisfaction from our customers and partners. 
  • Scale smart: We will grow team-size, and in order to cope demand, we need to do things smarter day by day
  • Grow your organisation and support teams: You design the organisational setup that preps us for success. Also, you have a strong eye for talent as you will be hiring the right people to grow your support team.
