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

At Wolt-like companies, people move fast — and so do challenges. As an Employee Relations Specialist, you'll be the go-to expert for complex employee matters, helping leaders make fair, consistent, and legally sound decisions while keeping our culture respectful, human, and inclusive.

You'll work closely with HR, Legal, and Leadership to navigate sensitive situations, manage risk, and continuously improve how we support our people.

Act as a trusted advisor to managers and employees on employee relations and labor law matters
Handle complex and sensitive employee cases, including performance concerns, misconduct, grievances, and conflicts
Lead and support internal investigations (e.g. code of conduct, harassment, whistleblowing cases)
Support disciplinary actions and offboarding processes in a fair, compliant, and people-centric way
Partner closely with HR Business Partners, Legal, Compliance, and external counsel when needed
Collaborate with employee representatives / works councils where applicable
Ensure compliance with local labor laws, internal policies, and global ER standards
Identify patterns and ER risks, and proactively recommend preventative actions
Contribute to ER policies, playbooks, manager guidance, and training sessions

What We're Looking For

Proven experience in Employee Relations, Labor Law, or HR with a strong ER focus
Solid knowledge of local labor law; experience in international or matrix organizations is a plus
Confident handling of sensitive, high-impact employee cases
Strong judgment, empathy, and the ability to stay calm in complex situations
Clear, pragmatic communicator who can influence without authority
High integrity, discretion, and a solution-oriented mindset
Fluency in German and English

Why You'll Love Working Here

A people-first culture with high trust and autonomy
Real impact on how employee relations are handled in a fast-scaling tech environment
Close collaboration with senior stakeholders and cross-functional teams
Competitive compensation and benefits
A company that values transparency, fairness, and continuous improvement

That's why we hire and cultivate diverse teams of people from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We believe that true innovation happens when everyone has room at the table and the tools, resources, and opportunity to excel.
