Job Description

About the Team

The Regional Analytics Team at Wolt focuses on solving country & region specific operational challenges and is tasked with “hitting the plan” for specific countries.

Data Scientists at Wolt work to uncover insights and turn them into relevant recommendations, driving decisions for the entire organisation.
