Team Lead – Rider Onboarding & Compliance

Skills this job asks for

About the role

Our Global Structure Deliveroo is now part of DoorDash, bringing together teams with even greater reach, scale, and ambition. Depending on your role, you may collaborate with teammates, systems, and leaders across DoorDash and Wolt. Together, we’re unlocking new possibilities as one global team. Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation, and growth drives everything we do. Deliveroo's Rider Onboarding & Compliance team makes sure that every applicant and active rider on our platform is correctly verified, correctly documented, and correctly permitted to work.

Here’s what your day-to-day might look like: Lead, coach, and manage a team of Compliance Check Representatives, conducting 1-on-1s, driving performance, and training new joiners as policies and check types evolve. Oversee daily queue management, task allocation, rotas, and capacity planning across UK and European time zones to consistently meet service level agreements. Own the end-to-end quality assurance cycle by sampling completed checks, scoring output against quality frameworks, and delivering targeted coaching to address root-cause errors.
