The Role

As Senior Associate, Commercial Incentives, you will be responsible for managing Deliveroo's approach to commercial incentives. You will work with our local markets to define commercial teams' KPIs and incentive plans that align with Deliveroo's business and financial objectives. You will support local market leadership, ensuring schemes are understood and embedded in their day-to-day operations.

Owning the ongoing management of incentive schemes

• Design the workflows and tooling to facilitate the ongoing management of schemes once rolled out.
• Build and utilise tools to aid local leaders with target setting.
• Own the monthly and quarterly calculation of all incentive plans (in collaboration with the Reporting team). Ensure data quality and consistency in the commission tools.
• Collaborate with our product team to migrate management of our schemes from spreadsheets into a new, engaging, easy-to-use system.
• Develop performance reporting that helps to identify areas for improvement in the design of the incentive plans.

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 in an incredibly exciting space.
