About the role
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.
Our Onboarding Operations team lies at the heart of Wolt, bringing together specialized subteams to set every merchant up for success. Within Onboarding Operations, our Data Validation team acts as the crucial gatekeeper between Sales and Merchant Onboarding—ensuring every business detail, legal document, and data point is verified and compliant before a restaurant goes live.
As a Data Validation Specialist, you will take ownership of compliance checks for key accounts and non-standard setups across the German market. You'll serve as the bridge that ensures Sales submits accurate merchant data and that our Onboarding colleagues receive partners that are fully vetted and ready for a smooth kickoff.
If you have a sharp eye for detail, love solving operational puzzles, and want to play a key role in scaling Wolt's merchant pipeline, we'd love to chat.
