Are you an experienced sales professional that’s hungry for your next big challenge? Do you have a strong understanding of retail operations in Slovakia? If this sounds like you, then we’d love to chat! 

Role background

Wolt is a Finnish technology company and until recently, we’ve been best known for our food delivery platform. However, food delivery was just the start. We don’t want to just satisfy our customers’ hunger, but to deliver a wide variety of products and expand our platform to some cool retail shops, supermarkets, flowers, toys and other exciting products, all referred to as Retail. 

To achieve this, we must first assemble the team of motivated sales superheroes who’ll secure the relationships with the retailers that our customers in Slovakia want to order from. That means your role as the Retail Sales Manager is to be the true ‘hunter’. 

You’ll be tasked with building and managing your own pipeline of Retail partners to approach and sign up to Wolt. This requires a good understanding of both the most appropriate retailers across various verticals to prioritise, as well as strong communication and negotiation skills to get your targets through the sales funnel.

As time progresses and more Retail partners are onboarded, the targets and duties of the role may develop. This means that you must thrive in the ‘start-up’ environment where constant change means there’s always lots to get your teeth into!    

What you’ll be doing

• Systematically managing the pipeline of new potential partnerships and building relationships with the identified retailers - ensuring to tailor the approach accordingly to best position Wolt as a partner of choice.
• Identifying potential partnerships with retailers that will enhance Wolt’s portfolio, and using the right blend of data and logic to gauge potential retailer performance and unit economics.
• Having a deep understanding of the competition and various verticals in the market (supermarkets, convenience stores, florists, bakeries, etc.)
• Conducting negotiations regarding partnership terms and continuing ownership for the relationship until the retail development team steps in.
• Actively inputting on the local sales strategy that accelerates Wolt’s Retail market entry.
• Ensuring there’s an optimal product selection per each Retailer for Wolt’s platform.
