Director, Marketplace (Denmark)

Copenhagen, Denmark

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.

About the Role

As Director, Marketplace, you’ll own the full Denmark marketplace P&L and play a central role in shaping our next phase of growth.

Denmark is a mature and highly successful Wolt market, with strong fundamentals and significant opportunity ahead. With competition increasing and consumer behavior evolving, our next focus is on unlocking new sources of growth beyond our established delivery market, while continuing to strengthen marketplace performance and our position in a high-growth vertical.

As our Marketplace Director, you’ll set the marketplace strategy, and sit at the intersection of operations, product, marketing and customer experience — making the trade-offs that determine how well the marketplace performs today and how strong it will be tomorrow. Working closely with other senior leaders across Wolt, you’ll identify where to invest, where to change course and where the next wave of growth can come from. You’ll also play a key role in expanding Wolt into new occasions and geographies, strengthening selection and building a marketplace that continues to deliver value for our customers, merchants and couriers.

What You’ll Be Doing

Own the Marketplace

  • Own the P&L and overall performance of Wolt Denmark, from growth and revenue to variable profit and contribution margin.
  • Set the priorities that move the marketplace forward across improving gross order value, selection, quality, affordability and customer experience.
  • Run regular business reviews with our leadership teams, turning performance data into clear decisions and actions.
  • Balance short-term commercial opportunities with the long-term health, quality and economics of the marketplace.

Shape the Strategy

  • Set the direction for marketplace growth and development across Denmark.
  • Balance supply, demand, customer experience and unit economics — often when the right answer isn’t obvious.
  • Identify the biggest opportunities and constraints across the marketplace, and decide where Wolt should focus its energy and investment.

Lead Across Wolt

  • Bring together a senior leadership team across Commercial, Operations, Marketing, Support, Finance and Product around a shared set of priorities.
  • Influence decisions on investment, resources and market strategy without relying on formal reporting lines.
  • Surface and solve structural issues before they become barriers to growth.

Build What Comes Next

  • Lead initiatives that expand and strengthen the marketplace, from market development to new growth opportunities.
  • Improve merchant selection and commercial performance.
  • Strengthen operational readiness, including self-delivery capabilities.

Lead the Wolt Way

  • Take ownership, be transparent about performance and make decisions with the long-term in mind.
  • Build trust across teams and bring people with you, especially when priorities compete.
  • Represent Wolt with external partners and stakeholders, and where appropriate, with the media.
  • Raise the bar for how we operate — ambitious in what we want to achieve, pragmatic in how we get there, and humble enough to keep learning.
