Working in Product Development at Wolt

At Wolt, we’re about getting things done. You’ll probably enjoy it here if you like taking ownership, developing yourself and being around friendly, humble and ambitious people. 

The behind the scenes of Wolt is run by an awesome bunch of over 700+ planners, builders, designers and data crunchers. We call ourselves Product+, as we’re the very core of Wolt’s products, tools and platforms. To build our products, we work in over 60  cross-functional, independent and autonomous teams. Teams are made up of a mix of talented individuals: engineers, designers, data scientists, analysts, and product leads. Each team takes ownership for solving customer problems in the best possible way.

Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

We want to have all sorts of people in our team – people like you and me, and people different from you and me. To be able to work with diverse teammates – when it comes to gender, age, ethnicity, life background, sexual orientation, political views, religion, or any other personal trait – we consciously aim to offer equal opportunity for everyone to work with us. This is because we believe diverse teams make the most thought-through decisions and build things in the most inclusive way.

Join us today to build Wolt together.

We are looking for a Product Lead to join the Design Systems team. The Product Lead for Design Systems works with Product and Engineering teams across Wolt to identify areas of improvement in our current design systems and define high-impact initiatives and requirements that will enable our product teams to deliver an exceptional experience to their end users. 

As a Product Lead, you will work with a cross-functional team of incredibly talented engineers, designers, product people, and analysts in a high-visibility role. You will be responsible for defining the roadmap and setting the vision for your team. This involves leading multiple projects and cross-team product initiatives across the entire product lifecycle, partnering with stakeholders in Design, Engineering, and Data Science, as well as understanding our end-users better than anyone. 

You could come to this role from a multitude of different backgrounds, but ideally, you have 

• Proven experience as a Product Lead / Product Manager, preferably with a development background or experience with design systems

• Experience working with platform products or complex technical systems - you understand what it takes to build an amazing platform that will be used by internal teams and users

• An eye for what a great user experience looks like in a product

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and have proven ability to influence cross-functional teams and drive alignment at senior levels in the organization

• A mixture of data analysis skills, engineering understanding and business savvy with the go-getter attitude of a "could-be start-up CEO" 

The position will be filled as soon as we find the right person, so make sure to apply as soon as you realize you really, really want to join us!

The compensation will be a negotiable combination of monthly pay and DoorDash RSUs. The latter makes it exceptionally easy to be excited about our company growing and doing well, as you’ll own a piece of the pie.
