Wolt

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 team

In the Marketing Analytics team we are focused on improving the effectiveness of our marketing spend and help grow Wolt. We solve a variety of marketing challenges and help optimise Wolt’s marketing mix through attribution, MMM and Experimentation, enabling effective measurement of different marketing initiatives and working with the marketing team to identify areas for improvement and growth across all Wolt countries. Considering the scale of Wolt’s marketing function, there are many exciting problems to be solved and plenty of opportunities to make a business impact.

Data Scientists at Wolt work to uncover insights and turn them into relevant recommendations, driving decisions for the entire organisation. We partner closely with Marketing, Product, Engineering and Strategy & Operations teams to guide measurement and tactical decision-making using advanced analytics as we expand the Wolt platform across the globe.

About the role

As a Data Scientist at Wolt, your role involves diving into our data to solve crucial business problems. The scope of this role ranges from diagnosing problem areas to identifying solutions to designing experiments and ultimately influencing decision making. This is a rare, operational and actionable data-driven experience. When you join this team, you will be driving action from the frontlines, rather than just doing yet another analytics role.

If you enjoy finding patterns amidst chaos, are excited to build from 0 to 1, and have experience using analytics and data science skills to drive business outcomes, we're looking for someone like you.

What you’ll be doing

• Use statistical techniques, hypothesis testing, and experimentation to validate findings and drive business outcomes
• Provide insights on marketplace dynamics, user behaviors, and long-term trends to our business
• Conduct quantitative analysis and present data to uncover business drivers and insights beyond the numbers
• Build analytics experiments, reports, and dashboards; perform ad-hoc data analyses using tools like SQL, R, or Python
• Identify and measure levers to enhance metrics; make actionable recommendations
• Offer clarity in ambiguous environments and collaborate across multiple teams and collaborate effectively across teams, including Marketing, Strategy & Operations, Product, Finance, and Engineering.
• Mentor team members towards achieving actionable outcomes

Our humble expectations

• 5+ years of experience in data analytics, consulting, or related quantitative field
• Skills in SQL queries, predictive modeling, and using visualization tools such as Looker or Tableau; experience with Python or R is a plus
• Proficiency in experimentation techniques, including causal inference and A/B testing, with experience in experiment design and statistical analysis, with the ability to define success metrics and implement measurement strategies
• A creative and critical mindset, thriving in fast-paced, dynamic environments to resolve ambiguous problems using a structured, hypothesis-driven, and data-supported approach
• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally and influence both technical and non-technical audiences and ability to lead strategic projects to completion with cross-functional teams in scrappy environments
• Humility and a team-player attitude, going out of your way to help teammates
• Familiarity with multi-sided marketplaces and working experience in marketing are a plus

What we offer

• The online delivery platform that Wolt is building will offer you interesting and complex challenges together with the opportunities to create a big impact with your skills. Lots of geolocational and temporal data in real-time combined with differences in the economics and dynamics of the cities we operate in make Wolt both a challenging and so interesting company to practice analytics.
• You can work onsite at our offices in Helsinki, Stockholm, or Tallinn. Alternatively, you can work remotely anywhere in Finland, Sweden, or Estonia. You have the chance to decide the ways of working — a hybrid, at the office, or remote, within the location above. ????
• You would get to work in a company culture where we take ownership beyond the obvious, do common things uncommonly well, we think big but stay humble, do right by people, we treat others kindly and justly, recognize that if we don’t learn, we won’t stay still but fall behind and keep in mind that Luke was Yoda’s greatest achievement.

Next steps

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!
