Why Deliveroo?
When you first think about Deliveroo, you probably think of getting
great food to your house in less than half an hour. Awesome right? But
behind the scenes is the real story. This story is one of high growth,
huge challenges and an enormous opportunity ahead of us. It began with
our founder Will, arriving in London over 5 years ago and finding it
almost impossible to order great food, despite the wealth of incredible
restaurants in the city. Fast forward 5 years and we operate in 13
countries with over 50,000 riders who deliver orders from 50,000
restaurants in over 200 cities worldwide.
We want to be the definitive food company - the app you go to any
time you have a hunger pang. We are transforming the way people think
about food. We are providing people with limitless access to different
cuisines and restaurants, turning cooking from a chore to a choice, and
giving people the freedom to eat what they want, when they want, where
they want it.
We work with riders, restaurants and consumers. We operate one of the
most complex three sided marketplaces in the world and we do this in
real time. Millions of customers and thousands of restaurants and riders
rely on us to match them within milliseconds. The algorithms behind
that marketplace are the secret sauce that allow us to deliver our
orders in under 30 minutes.
And we’re just getting started
The scale of the opportunity ahead of us is immense. The global food
market is valued at £7.7 trillion but only 1% of it is currently online.
Contrast that with the digital disruption of countless other industries
- from banking and travel to retail and communications - it’s clear
that our journey in the food sector has only just begun.
We are already a multi-billion dollar company that is more than
doubling in size every year. Deliveroo came top in the FT’s’ list of
Europe’s fastest growing 1000 companies in 2018, and we were the first
company ever to win Deloitte’s ‘UK Top 50’ two years in a row. Yet most
of the extraordinary value this company will generate lies ahead of us.

WHO WE ARE
We’re in the business of delivering awesome meals into everyone's
home or office – fast. We achieve this by building and running an
impressive website, a suite of mobile apps, a complex logistical
platform and a global operation - all to help bring great food from the

The Role
As a analytical partner to the General manager and his/her team in
the market, your role will be to support effective decision-making by
analysing data from various sources and communicating your insight in a
clear and digestible format. You will need to collaborate with a variety
of different teams within the business, whether that is user research,
product managers, engineers or your fellow data driven colleagues, so
you need to enjoy working in partnership with like-minded people.
Responsibilities
- Performance management - create “best in class” performance reporting for the local management team
E.g. what are the 5 most important KPIs our GM and his team should first read every morning? - Data analysis - get your hands dirty into the problem and drive actionable insight from data perspective
E.g. One KPI has been trending down for the last 3 months? Why? And how to improve it? - Connecting the dots - Have a strong ability to interpret and
communicate findings from analytical initiatives to stakeholders at all
levels of the business
E.g. You identified the cause of the problem
and drafted an initial plan to solve this problem. How would you
communicate your plan to the wider team? - Impact - care about impact, and constantly be evaluating if your prioritisation levels are calibrating appropriately.
E.g. What’s the most important thing we have to do now rather than later?

Life at Deliveroo
We are a growing team, with very large impact, seeking to answer some
of the most interesting questions out there. We move fast, we’re always
looking for new ideas and we’re very transparent about the decisions we
make and why we make them.
There are so many questions we need to answer and plenty more we
haven’t even encountered. How do data and technology help restaurants to
grow as consumer habits change? How can we predict what someone wants
to order for dinner long before the idea has even crossed their mind? At
Deliveroo these are just some of the tough problems we are solving -
and there is no challenge that cannot be yours. No solution is owned by a
particular team, which means the scope for growth and personal impact
is enormous.
