Workforce Management Global Intraday Lead

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. 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.

At Wolt, we're on a mission to deliver exceptional service experiences globally. Our Global Workforce Management (WFM) team is at the heart of this mission, ensuring we can meet customer needs swiftly and efficiently, no matter where they are. We're looking for a Global Intraday Lead to join our team and drive a unified, global approach to real-time WFM across more than 30 countries.

In this high-impact role, you'll be instrumental in shaping how we monitor, manage, and react in real-time. You'll coordinate with over 120 shift leads, establishing standardized processes, tools, and playbooks to maximize service levels and ensure we can recover quickly from any unexpected incidents. Your work will be critical to our success, and you'll collaborate closely with regional WFM leads, global planning teams, and real-time coordinators. You'll also be supported by a robust analytics and product team, ensuring you have the tools and insights you need to succeed.

• Leverage data to drive decisions and identify trends, opportunities, and areas of improvement


• Establish feedback mechanisms to ensure key real-time observations are integrated into scheduling and planning processes, addressing root causes and solving problems upstream
