Why Deliveroo

Our mission is to transform the way you shop and eat, bringing the neighbourhood to your door by connecting consumers, restaurants, shops and riders. We are transforming the way the world eats and shops by making access to food and products more convenient and enjoyable. We give people the opportunity to buy what they want, as they want it, when and where they want it.

We are a technology-driven company at the forefront of the most rapidly expanding industry in the world. We are still a small team, making a very large impact, looking to answer some of the most interesting questions out there. We move fast, value autonomy and ownership, and we are always looking for new ideas.

About the Team

The Care team is responsible for ensuring customers are taken care of when things don’t go right. We operate a complex three-sided marketplace (customers, riders and restaurants), and unfortunately, things do sometimes go wrong despite everybody’s best efforts (we are human after all right?). This might include food arriving cold, late orders, or missing items. Food is personal and emotional, it will often be the highlight of someone’s day and this is where we need super agents who are passionate about customers, to come in and recover these situations. After all, no one wants to be hangry! 

Leading a team of agents, you will ensure they resolve customer issues and provide a high level of service each and every day to:

• Keep Customers satisfied whilst keeping them coming back to try our wide range of food and groceries, whether it’s 20 chicken wings or the missing ingredients for the brunch they are hosting
• Keep Partners happy which means they can continue to create delicious dishes for customers and Deliveroo becomes their platform of choice
• Keep Riders happy so they can deliver food to our customers in rapid time and they choose to work for Deliveroo over our competitors

We believe a great workplace is one that represents the world we live in and how beautifully diverse it can be. That means we have no judgement when it comes to any one of the things that make you who you are - your gender, race, sexuality, religion or a secret aversion to coriander. All you need is a passion for (most) food and a desire to be part of one of the fastest growing startups around.
