About the role

At Deliveroo Hop, we’re building a global grocery retailer from the ground up. We launched Deliveroo Hop September 2021 as Deliveroo’s speedy grocery delivery service and have partnered with some of the world’s leading grocers so you can get the freshest, tastiest food and all of your must-haves right to your front door in as little as 20 minutes. We’re live in the UK, UAE, Hong Kong and Italy and have big goals to deliver the best on-demand grocery proposition in the world.

Alongside this you will lead your team to build the tools, tracking and measurement to allow our global Hop markets to deliver against these frameworks on an ongoing basis.

Success in this role will require development of effective working relationships across Deliveroo; particularly the link with the international markets, as well as the Data Science, Operations, Commercial and Finance teams.
