Real Estate Transaction Manager

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.

We are looking for a Real Estate Transaction Manager to join our Global Real Estate team and take full ownership of leasing matters across our international office portfolio. Reporting to the Global Head of Facilities & Real Estate, you will be a key driver in enabling our dynamic growth by ensuring our teams have the best possible workspaces to thrive in.

You will join a lean, ambitious Real Estate & Facilities team that is constantly building and evolving. Your mission is to independently lead the full lifecycle of office transactions, from acquisitions and renewals to regears and disposals - while implementing the global standards that drive efficiency across our diverse markets. This is a high-impact role where you will partner closely with business leads and internal stakeholders to make strategic real estate decisions. If you are a self-starter who enjoys navigating data ambiguity to deliver creative, flexible leasing solutions in a fast-paced environment, this one is for you!

What you’ll be doing

• Leading the end-to-end execution of office transactions, including market search, financial analysis, and legal negotiations for acquisitions and renewals.

• Developing and managing transaction budgets and timelines to ensure all global workspace projects stay on track and within financial targets.

• Optimizing deal terms and commercial structures to maximize flexibility and cost-efficiency for our rapidly shifting business needs.

• Collaborating cross-functionally with local business leads and internal teams to translate operational requirements into successful real estate strategies.

• Establishing and refining global transaction standards and KPIs to ensure consistency and excellence across our 30+ countries of operation.

• Acting as the primary point of contact for external brokers and landlords, managing these relationships to secure the best possible outcomes for Wolt.

Our humble expectations

• Extensive experience in international office leasing and transaction management, specifically from an occupier or tenant representation perspective.

• Proven ability to negotiate complex commercial lease terms and a deep understanding of legal frameworks across multiple international jurisdictions.

• Strong financial acumen with experience in budget planning and ability to support our optimizing for total cost of occupancy.

• Excellent stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate complex real estate strategies to non-expert business leaders.

• A proactive, "builder" mindset with the ability to work independently and make sound decisions in a high-growth, fast-changing environment.

• Full professional fluency in English; while this role is based in our Berlin office, our internal business language is English.

What we offer

This is a unique opportunity to join us to build the real estate foundation of a fast-growing tech company. You won’t just be managing leases; you’ll be designing the "Wolt way" of doing real estate on a global stage. You’ll have the autonomy to own your projects from day one and the chance to see your work materialise into vibrant offices across a variety of countries. Alongside this impact, we offer a competitive salary, 30 days of paid vacation, and local perks like Urban Sports Club subsidies and a discounted Deutschlandticket.
