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.

Are you excited about shaping the future of how people shop, and ready to take ownership of a portfolio that drives real commercial impact?

At Wolt, we are looking for a Sales Manager who combines strong commercial thinking with the drive to build a market-leading portfolio of merchant partners.

• Lead projects and initiatives that contribute to Wolt's growth and market position, working collaboratively across Sales and other functions
• Contribute to capability building in the team by mentoring and guiding junior sales colleagues

• You allocate your time strategically, focusing on the best potential leads
• You are a natural team player who enjoys helping more junior colleagues grow
• You are fluent in Norwegian and English, both spoken and written Experience with CRM tools is an advantage, but not a requirement
