Senior Recruitment Manager

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.

Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation, and growth drives everything we do. Our People team are the architects of a great workplace where brilliant minds come together to do their best work. From discovering diverse talent and nurturing future leaders, to creating spaces that spark collaboration and crafting rewards that celebrate success - we're passionate about building a culture where everyone can thrive.

We are bringing our recruitment teams together into one EMEA organisation aligned to the business departments we support. We are looking for a Senior Recruitment Manager to lead recruitment for Marketplace for Wolt and Deliveroo, the B2B space and SevenRooms, building a team that combines strong business partnerships with consistent hiring delivery across both brands.

Based in Helsinki, you will lead a geographically distributed team of recruitment managers and recruiters across EMEA. You will set the strategy for your portfolio, develop the leaders and specialists in your team, and work with senior business, Finance and People leaders to translate hiring demand into a clear delivery plan.

This role combines leadership through managers with direct leadership of selected individual contributors. You will bring together different markets and business needs, make informed choices about capacity and priorities, and help the team establish effective ways of working in the combined organisation.

What you will be doing:

Essential :

Leadership at scale. Experience leading recruitment managers and geographically distributed recruiting teams, with evidence of developing leaders and improving team performance.

Business and commercial recruitment expertise. A strong track record delivering recruitment across commercial or business functions in a complex, fast-moving organisation, with the judgement to support distinct business models and hiring needs.

Senior stakeholder influence. Experience advising senior business leaders, challenging assumptions with evidence and aligning stakeholders around realistic priorities and delivery commitments.

Strategic workforce and capacity planning. The ability to translate a hiring forecast into a recruitment plan, assess resource requirements and make clear trade-offs across competing needs.

A practical command of recruitment data. Confidence using funnel, productivity and delivery metrics to identify causes, guide action and communicate business impact.

Experience across markets. An understanding of the complexities of hiring across EMEA, including how language, local market conditions and role requirements affect sourcing and delivery.

Nice to have: 

Change leadership. Experience helping teams adopt new structures, processes or systems while maintaining trust, continuity and hiring delivery.

Integration experience. Experience combining recruitment teams or operating models across brands, countries or acquired businesses.

Why join us

You will shape recruitment for several distinct business areas at an important point in the integration of Deliveroo and Wolt. The role offers the opportunity to influence senior leaders, develop managers and recruiters across EMEA, and build a sustainable delivery model grounded in business demand.

You will work with colleagues across the broader DoorDash organisation, sharing expertise and improving how we identify, assess and hire talent. We value the different perspectives people bring and want everyone to have the opportunity to do their best work.

We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. That’s why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.
