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.

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.

The Talent Development team leads company-wide development to drive growth and performance. Our work helps people thrive and do their best work.

As Senior Manager of Talent Development, you will play a key role in building and scaling leadership development for our most important talent needs.
