Restaurant Onboarding Specialist - Data Validation

Our Onboarding Operations team lies at the heart of Wolt, bringing together specialized subteams to set every merchant up for success. Within Onboarding Operations, our Data Validation team acts as the crucial gatekeeper between Sales and Merchant Onboarding—ensuring every business detail, legal document, and data point is verified and compliant before a restaurant goes live.

As a Data Validation Specialist, you will take ownership of compliance checks for key accounts and non-standard setups across the German market. You’ll serve as the bridge that ensures Sales submits accurate merchant data and that our Onboarding colleagues receive partners that are fully vetted and ready for a smooth kickoff.

If you have a sharp eye for detail, love solving operational puzzles, and want to play a key role in scaling Wolt’s merchant pipeline, we’d love to chat.
