Deliveroo

Deliveroo's mission is to transform the way you shop and eat, bringing the neighbourhood to your door by connecting consumers, restaurants, shops and riders. We continue to operate in a competitive marketplace but have achieved so much over the past years, including significant growth in our New Verticals business, which includes site operations across our delivery only sites - Editions and HOP.

We continue to innovate and challenge ourselves on what we should deliver next to achieve our mission. We are investing and building out teams to help us launch new innovative products. It's an exciting time to join and while we have made great progress, we are just getting started!

Editions

Deliveroo Editions were the world's first delivery only kitchens, and we are still the market leaders in helping our restaurant partners succeed. We entered this space in 2017 and operate across various markets and have since perfected the art of getting customers their deliveries in the fastest and most pleasant way possible. These super kitchens provide restaurant owners with an end-to-end solution for fulfilling customer orders with the highest possible standards - outperforming their brick & mortar KPI's! This is the reason why many of the industry's leading brands (such as Dishoom, Wingstop, Five Guys, and Pickl) have chosen Editions to help them grow their brands and develop new ones! As such, Editions is a delivery-only kitchen network that brings exclusive restaurant brands into high demand areas.

The Role
