Senior Associate, Finance & Strategy, Marketplace

Berlin or Helsinki is preferred.

Wolt builds technology that brings joy, simplicity, and earnings to neighbourhoods. It started in 2014 with restaurant delivery and is now building the delivery of (almost) everything, with operations in 500+ cities across 30 countries. In 2022 it joined forces with DoorDash and continues to grow globally. Working at Wolt is framed as fast-paced and demanding but high-learning: you learn, build, and ship a lot.

To steer our Marketplace business at scale, we're building a new Finance & Strategy team at the heart of Wolt's Restaurant vertical. This team owns the financial engine behind our core business, from forecasting how many orders we'll have tomorrow to shaping how the P&L looks across all our countries. You'll work alongside peer teams covering Marketing, Wolt+ (subscription), and Regional Finance. Your counterparts include the consumer business, regional finance leaders across Europe and beyond.

Role background

You'll be the person who knows, and explains, how Wolt's Restaurant business is really doing. Not the dashboards. Not the data pipelines. The actual story: what's working, what's not, why, and what to do about it.

The role has three sides. First, you'll own the full profit and loss narrative for our largest vertical across all the countries we operate in, writing the analysis that leadership reads every week and presenting the Restaurant narrative in business reviews. Second, you'll manage the budget of a multi-billion EUR transaction-volume business: setting regional allocations, tracking risks and opportunities, and leading the rebalancing conversation when things go off track. Third, you'll define how the organisation reads the numbers, building the reporting standards that ensure every team measures performance, explains variances, and uses financial language the same way.

What you’ll be doing

Own the financial story:

Partner with finance and business stakeholders across the organisation to build the Restaurant profit and loss narrative. Write the variance commentary for Weekly and Quarterly Business Reviews that connects what moved, why, and what to do about it.Spot the signals that matter across 30 countries. When something shifts, diagnose whether it's structural, behavioral, or seasonal, and bring a clear recommendation to the table.

Track risks and opportunities:

Maintain a live view of risks and opportunities by region, country and line item.Surface trends in weekly and monthly reviews before they appear in the close. When a country is trending below plan, quantify the risk, identify the root cause, and recommend whether to rebalance within the region or escalate for cross-regional contingency.

Manage the budget across regions:

Set quarterly Restaurant budget allocations across regions and lead the rebalancing conversation when a country or region is off-target.Consolidate country-level actuals, forecasts, and plans into a single profit and loss view that the organisation can trust and act on.

Set the standard for how we read the numbers:

Define and maintain the reporting framework for the Restaurant vertical and marketplace healthiness, from profit and loss structure to operational Weekly Business Review formats, so that every stakeholder reads and interprets the numbers the same way.Ensure consistency across regions and teams in how performance is measured, how variances are explained, and how financial language is used, creating a shared foundation that the entire organisation can rely on.

What Makes This Different From Other Finance Roles:

You don't just report, you advise. The consumer team, regional leads, and the Head of Marketplace will ask for your read on things before they act. Your analysis shapes decisions, it doesn't just document them.You don't work on one market, you see 30+. You'll have a cross-country, cross-regional view that almost no one else in the organisation has. When you spot a pattern across markets, you're the person who connects the dots.You don't inherit a playbook, you help write it. This team is being built from scratch. How we report, how we plan, how we align with regions. You'll shape these processes, not just follow them.You're not behind the scenes. You present at Weekly or Quarterly Business Reviews. You negotiate budget reallocations with senior regional leads. You deputize for the Team Lead. If you want a role where your work is visible and your judgment matters, this is it.
