At Deliveroo, it is our mission to build the definitive food company. In order to do that, we're building a company where everyone can belong, grow and do the best work of their lives.


You will play a fundamental role supporting our Executive team by ensuring operations are organised, well-managed and the continuously-changing-day runs smoothly and without a hitch!

  • Submit expenses on behalf of the X (within company guidelines) and approve team expenses
  • Approve team holiday requests - ensuring the team calendars are up to date

  • Constantly scan our company communications to ensure the executives do not miss key announcements, important details or things to celebrate and share with the team

  • Be emotionally intelligent: handle all duties with the highest degree of confidentiality, professionalism, diplomacy and integrity and be aware of your impact on others

  • Create exciting ways to celebrate events and moments important to the team culture (birthdays, anniversaries and other special occasions)

  • Work closely with EAs in our business to ensure nothing falls through the cracks
  • Be friendly and helpful - we can still at times feel like a start-up and often require people to "muck in" when needed (however big or small the task)
