Role background
Since we launched in Israel in 2018, our business has grown phenomenally –
we’re now an organisation of more than 500 dedicated Wolters, working with
hundreds of restaurants and retailers across the country, bringing our
customers everything from pizza to paracetamol.
The People team at Wolt currently consists of about 45 HR and Talent
Acquisition professionals located in Helsinki, Copenhagen, Berlin, Tel-Aviv
and Tokyo. To reach our next exciting stage growth plans, we are now expanding
our People team and looking for an experienced HR professional to build and
lead our HR team in Israel.
As the Head of HR in Israel you will have a holistic ownership of HR locally,,
focusing on leading the local HR Operations, Talent Development and acting as
a “business partner” to the local senior management. The core focus of the
role, especially in the beginning, is setting up the HR function locally, so
actually further developing the core HR processes, policies, practices, ways
or working and obviously also the team, with the support of the central HR
team. Ideally, you have a strong generalist background, so they would have
experience in multiple areas of HR, but especially HR Operations and Business
HR. From a background perspective, you ideally have either led an HR function
locally or who has worked as a senior HR Business Partner. Having a “builder”
mindset and taking strong initiative will be key success factors in the role.
Most importantly, you need to be comfortable rolling up your sleeves and
getting stuck in – we don’t want you sitting on the sidelines waiting to be
told what to do, we want you to take the initiative and drive our HR function,
leading from the front!
