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.

Role background

Are you a professional with a passion for making things run smoothly and efficiently? Do you enjoy working across a wide range of topics — from corporate housekeeping to compliance operations — and collaborating with different teams in a truly global environment? If so, we’d love to have you join our Legal team!

We are now looking to strengthen our Legal team with a Paralegal who will help us manage and improve legal operations and support our lawyers across various corporate, commercial, and compliance areas. You’ll be part of a dynamic, business-minded international legal function that works closely with teams across the company in multiple jurisdictions.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys ownership, thrives on structure and problem-solving, and wants to contribute to how we manage and scale legal work across multiple jurisdictions. Our ideal candidate is someone who is curious and eager to learn and wants to be part of creating something new. They are detail-oriented but also see the big picture, flexible, dynamic and proactively get things done. We also appreciate quick thinking and a can-do attitude of rolling up one’s sleeves and getting to work, no matter the task. We expect you to already have some work experience from working in an international setting involving legal topics.

We’re looking for the person to join our team at our Helsinki office.

What You´ll Be Doing

As our new Paralegal, you’ll play an important role in supporting our global Legal team. Your work will include a mix of ongoing operational tasks and improvement projects. Such tasks may include:

  • Corporate and subsidiary governance
    • Maintaining company records and registers across legal entities.
    • Preparing and coordinating board and shareholder documents, PoAs and filings.
    • Supporting annual compliance and audit processes.
    • Supporting and managing KYC and signature processes.
  • Compliance and legal operations
    • Supporting compliance initiatives.
    • Managing documentation, templates, and workflows to ensure legal team efficiency.
  • Administrative and financial coordination
    • Coordinating invoice and billing processes with the finance team and external law firms. Supporting in vendor onboarding.
    • Assisting in maintaining accurate records in our legal systems.
  • Cross-functional and project support
    • Working closely with lawyers and stakeholders across different functions (Finance, Compliance, People, etc.) on recurring and ad hoc projects.
    • Helping to improve internal processes and tools for the legal team. 

Our Humble Expectations

  • Some prior experience as a legal assistant, paralegal or in a similar role — ideally in an international company or law firm.
  • Strong organizational and project management skills; ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks.
  • Excellent attention to detail and a proactive, structured way of working.
  • Great communication and collaboration skills — you’ll be working with many stakeholders across the company.
  • Fluency in English (Finnish or other languages are a plus).
  • Experience with legal systems or tools (e.g. entity management or document management systems) is a plus.
  • Experience from using AI solutions to gain efficiencies in work. 

We’re looking for a practical, hands-on person who enjoys supporting others, building structure, and finding better ways of doing things. You don’t need to know everything on day one — curiosity, initiative, and a can-do attitude will take you far at Wolt.
