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
Are you passionate about creating safe environments and thrive in a role where no two days are the same? We're looking for a hands-on and resourceful Physical Security and Safety Specialist to be the go-to security person for Germany and surrounding markets — someone ready to build, own, and grow the function alongside us.
What you’ll be doing
- Manage day-to-day physical security operations for Germany and surrounding Central European markets, acting as the primary security point of contact for the region.
- Handle a broad range of security incidents — coordinating with HR, Legal, and local stakeholders as needed.
- Plan and oversee physical security projects, including hardware installations, upgrades, and maintenance of access control systems across office and market locations.
- Build and maintain relationships with security suppliers and installation contractors, ensuring quality delivery and service continuity.
- Collaborate closely with internal teams — Real Estate, HR, Legal, and local General Managers — to proactively identify and address security needs.
- Contribute to global security initiatives and help shape scalable security processes for a fast-growing organization.
Our humble expectations
- Fluency in English (written and spoken) is essential, as it's our primary working language. German fluency is equally required for day-to-day communication with local stakeholders and vendors.
- 3–5 years of experience in a physical security role, ideally with an administrative or project management component.
- Generalist security background with the ability to handle both operational and project-based work independently.
- Experience coordinating with security vendors and suppliers.
- Self-starter with a proactive mindset — you don't wait to be told what needs fixing, you find it and fix it.
- Curiosity and openness toward AI tools and technology
- Security coordinator certification or equivalent is a plus, but not required.
What’s in it for you
💙 You’ll 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, recognise that if we don’t learn, we won’t stay still but fall behind.
Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
We’re committed to growing and empowering a more inclusive community within our company, industry, and cities. 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.
