About the Role

We are looking for an experienced policy professional to join the Global Policy Team’s Policy Development and Research Group. This Director level role will shape the legal and regulatory framework for a new sector of the economy at a pivotal moment in Europe and the Middle East. This expansive role will focus on legislative analysis, developing our policy positions with input from cross-functional business teams, and strategic input on our policy priorities. You will work closely with Policy Team members across Europe and the Middle East and stakeholders across the company to develop and support the adoption of policies that best serve couriers, merchants, and consumers.

Responsibilities

Owning and driving Wolt and Deliveroo's regulatory analysis on high-impact legislative proposals across Europe and the Middle East — translating complex law-making processes into clear business, operational and commercial outcomes for senior leadership.
Acting as the strategic engine of the policy development function: leading the full cycle from horizon-scanning and position development through to advocacy and external engagement, with high autonomy in fast-moving and politically sensitive environments.
Bringing sharp legal and legislative expertise to our most ambiguous and high-stakes regulatory challenges — particularly around the future of work for courier partners — and making sound judgments with incomplete information under time pressure.
Building and driving alignment across Legal, Strategy & Operations, Product, Finance and Communications, acting as the connective tissue between policy and the business functions that need to act on it.
Representing Wolt and Deliveroo externally with industry groups, regulators, academics, think tanks and other stakeholders — shaping the broader policy environment and building our credibility as a constructive voice in the regulatory debate.
Balancing legal, operational and financial trade-offs when advising on regulatory risk, ensuring that our positions are not only legally sound but commercially realistic and executable at scale.

Requirements

10+ years of professional experience from the legal field and/or government or policy development in an international setting, with a demonstrated record of success focusing on a wide range of legislative and regulatory issues.
In-house experience is considered an advantage.
Previous professional exposure to digital platforms, mobile apps or software solutions.
A self-starter who isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves no matter the task.
Experience working in a global business environment, demonstrating the ability to operate with strong cross-cultural competence and flexibility with working hours.
Ability to occasionally travel to other cities in Europe, as well as the U.S. to further global collaboration across the team.
Bonus points for experience in employment and labour law, in international settings at a law firm, in-house at a technology company, and/or with a U.S.-based company.

About the Company

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.
DoorDash's mission is to grow and empower local economies — and in Europe, that mission comes to life through two of the continent's most dynamic consumer brands: Wolt and Deliveroo.
Together, they bring an extraordinary range of products to people's doors, from restaurant meals and groceries to electronics, beauty, pet supplies, pharmaceuticals and more.
Underpinning it all is a broad and ambitious technology platform spanning logistics, retail software, financial solutions and autonomous delivery, as well as Wolt's own grocery retail operation under the Wolt Market brand.
With thousands of merchant partners across dozens of European markets, the business is growing fast — and the regulatory landscape is growing more complex with it.

Equal Opportunity

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.
