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 this role, you will support the development and execution of safety initiatives that increase safety for all of Wolt's platform users, while building trust through transparent and effective safety practices. You will operate across both strategy and execution - owning key operational programs, identifying risks, and driving continuous improvement in our safety controls.
