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.
Wolt is on a growth journey as part of the DoorDash family, together with Deliveroo. Retail is one of our biggest growth opportunities: supermarkets, convenience chains, pharmacies, and specialty and department stores that want to reach customers through our Marketplace. These partners have different needs from restaurants, with larger catalogues, more complex integrations and longer, more structured sales cycles. This brings us to you, our next Head of Enterprise Retail Sales for Scandinavia.
You’ll lead retail acquisition across Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland and own the new partner targets for your cluster. You’ll manage a team sales professionals and turn regional commercial direction into disciplined country-level execution. You’ll work closely with Account Management, Operations, Marketing and the Regional Commercial teams, and you’ll be part of the regional Retail sales leadership.

- Own new Enterprise retail partner acquisition targets across your countries, and drive consistent delivery against monthly and quarterly goals.
- Translate regional commercial strategy into clear country-level execution plans.
- Lead, coach and develop a team of sales professionals: set clear targets, run regular pipeline reviews and check-ins, and support hiring and onboarding.
- Oversee the sales process end to end, from prospecting to signed agreement. Help the team build structured, data-driven value propositions, and join negotiations on larger or more complex deals.
- Make sure commercial terms follow our profitability and pricing guardrails, and build a high-quality partner portfolio aligned with long-term growth.
- Monitor pipeline health, conversion rates and forecast accuracy, and keep CRM usage and reporting standards high.
- Partner with Account Management for smooth handovers, with Operations for strong onboarding and launch readiness, and with Marketing on local acquisition campaigns and partner launches. Align on basic retail standards with local SMB sales teams where needed.
- Share best practices across markets, spot performance gaps and fix them, and keep improving win rates, sales cycle efficiency and acquisition quality.
- Give Regional Sales and Commercial teams structured feedback on market dynamics and the competitive landscape.
