Commercial Manager, Host Kitchens

Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation, and growth drives everything we do. Our Commercial team sits at the centre of Deliveroo’s marketplace—shaping how we serve restaurants, grocers, and new verticals worldwide. From negotiating key partnerships to unlocking new revenue streams and crafting data-led growth strategies, we take on big challenges that move the business forward. If you thrive in fast-paced, commercial environments and want to influence the future of a global brand—this is the team for you.

We’re looking for a Commercial Manager to join our Host Kitchens team. In this hybrid role, you’ll help us cultivate existing relationships with top Host Kitchen Partners that connect restaurant brands with kitchens that have excess capacity all across the UK to bring exciting cuisines and brands to new areas. You'll be focused on driving the growth of this category and reporting directly into the Head of Editions & Host Kitchens.

Get to know our Commercial team — what drives us, how we work, and what you can expect.

You’ll be joining the U.K. & Ireland team. The U.K. & Ireland are our domestic and most mature markets, where our commercial experts manage relationships with the most exciting restaurants across local regions to drive marketplace performance.

Here’s what your day-to-day might look like:

Grow restaurant partnerships: Build strong relationships with our Host Kitchen partners through regular face-to-face and remote consultation, ensuring they have the insights, guidance, and support needed to grow.

Optimise commercial performance: Analyse operational data and industry trends to advise partners on driving higher order volumes and accelerating growth.

Lead commercial negotiations: Direct commercial discussions to successfully negotiate and renew high-value partner contracts and terms.

Drive operational efficiency: Partner with internal restaurant and rider operations teams to streamline regional delivery performance and resolve operational bottlenecks.

Own category operations: Lead process improvement initiatives that enable the category to grow at scale and manage internal stakeholder reporting.

Our ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in some of these areas and curiosity to grow in others:

Proven relationship management: Demonstrated experience managing accounts or cultivating impactful business-to-business relationships.

Commercial and data acumen: Strong financial awareness with the ability to interpret datasets to identify growth trends and influence business decisions.

Strategic communication: Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with a track record of handling partner negotiations confidently.

Target-driven focus: A results-oriented approach with a proven ability to achieve growth targets and deliver measurable business outcomes.

Autonomy and initiative: A self-motivated mindset with the ability to work independently, organise your time effectively, and solve problems proactively while out in the field.
