Merchant Account Development Manager - Wolt Ads
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 building one of the most exciting media ecosystems in Kazakhstan - helping partners grow through Wolt Ads and Wolt Promos. By joining the team, you’ll be at the forefront of digital advertising, working on campaigns that drive visibility, engagement, and real results.
Our mission is to help partners grow their business by getting closer to the customers who matter most. Through high-impact placements across our app (and beyond), we help them boost brand visibility, reach new audiences, and increase sales.
