Why Deliveroo?

At Deliveroo, we are transforming the way people think about food and shopping.

When you first think about Deliveroo, you probably think of getting great food, groceries and shopping to your home in minutes. 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 - a story we would love you to help us shape.

We want to be the definitive delivery company - the app you go to any time you have a hunger pang or last minute shopping need. We are providing people with limitless access to different cuisines, restaurants and shops, turning cooking from a chore to a choice, and giving people the freedom to eat and shop what they want, when they want, where they want.

We now operate in 10 markets, with over 100,000 riders who deliver orders from 160,000 restaurants and 13,000 grocery partners in over 500 towns and cities worldwide.

Benefits And Diversity

At Deliveroo we know that people are the heart of the business and we prioritise their welfare. We offer a wide range of competitive benefits in areas including health, family, finance, community, convenience, growth, time away and relocation.

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 companies in an incredibly exciting space.
