About the job
Our Support Team is the glue that holds together the Wolt marketplace and ensures that poor experiences are turned into good ones, so that we can deliver industry leading customer experiences. We ensure that the operations between customers, restaurant partners and courier partners all run smoothly. As Support Team Lead you will manage a team of local Support Associates, develop the structures and processes required for the team to perform well, develop a culture where people thrive under pressure and inspire the highest-quality standard of service for our customers and partners.
You will lead a team of 20-25 people, working closely with fellow team leads and cross-functional partners, and report directly to the Support Manager.
Core responsibilities
People management: You will lead and develop a team of 20-25 people and ensure they are competent, motivated, engaged and satisfied in their roles. You will also make sure the team has fun and enjoys coming to work. You will be a contact point between the global and local organisation and will continuously identify and implement best practices to ensure the team is always performing to the highest standards. You will also support succession planning and proactively help individuals develop and grow into more senior roles.
Recruiting, mentoring and managing: You will find the best talent with the right attitude while creating an environment where the team can develop through encouragement and empowerment. You will be providing performance feedback and making sure your team meets KPIs.
Leading by example and setting the standard: At Wolt, our Support Team knows that customer interactions serve a larger purpose than simply fixing problems. You will lead by example and raise the bar of the service we provide. You set targets for yourself and your team and walk the extra mile to beat new records as a company.
Leading operations: You’re an operative leader that creates structure and sets the direction for the team. You develop clear guidelines and rules so that the team can handle a high volume of interactions daily and under pressure. You ensure that the team has the training they need to work both independently and collaboratively and can make good decisions live.
Strategizing and collaborating: You will develop strategies to improve customer service experience and satisfaction while creating engaged customers. Knowing the inner mechanics of our customer service systems, you will collaborate closely with our other teams to meet the needs of our customers and partners. You will also work closely with the other team leads locally and globally to ensure we work seamlessly at scale.
Relating and communicating: You will identify the needs and relevant tone of voice to each of our customers (courier partners, customers, and merchants) that are reaching out to us.
Analysing and optimising: You will look for patterns in incoming requests, translating it to actions and improvements, and communicating it to external partners and internal stakeholders.
Getting stuff done: We operate in a live environment, and you will have to make decisions quickly and on the fly, and operate well under pressure. You will need to be able to dive into the details to solve problems in the moment, while also being able to pull back and focus on the bigger picture.

About the company
We’ve got an idea And it’s a big one
Anything in your city. Delivered to you within minutes. That’s where we’re heading, and we’d love you to help us get there!
A shopping mall at your fingertips
Think of it this way. It’s as if we’re building a shopping mall that fits in your hand. We started with the food court on the top floor, and over time we added groceries and other stores and boutiques.
If you build it, they will come
To pull this off we need glorious products. And that's exactly what we're determined to build. Our tech brings together our customers, courier partners and merchant partners in real time – calculating hundreds of millions of routes every day.
Getting the essentials right
Our story began in Helsinki – the capital of Finland. Low population density, no strong takeaway or delivery culture and high labor costs made it a tough nut to crack. And let’s be honest, the weather didn’t help. But it gave us a chance to focus on the essentials, like building our tech and making our operations as smooth as possible.
Customer experience comes first
From app design to dynamic discovery, our goal is always to offer the best experience. We’re humbled and proud to say our apps have the industry’s highest rating on the App Store (4.8) and Google Play (4.6)*. *Global average as of November 2023
Customer support with heart and soul
We know there are lots of moving parts with real-time deliveries. If something goes wrong, our support team is there to answer in the local language in under 2 minutes. These are real people, ready and waiting to help.
The right way to scale
From day one we built our tech with scaling in mind. This allows us to operate efficiently in small countries with a population of only one million – or in cities with just 10,000 people living in our delivery area.
