Head of Global Accounts - France

Why Deliveroo?

Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation, and growth drive 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.

As we accelerate toward our 2027 ambition, Global Accounts are central to our future success. We are building a team that sets the standard for strategic partnership management — combining senior commercial leadership, rigorous execution, and organisational depth.

The Role

As Head of Global Accounts, you will lead a high-performing team responsible for the commercial relationship with France's most strategic restaurant brands. Your team currently consists of 7 people: Key Account Managers who own brand HQ relationships, and a Client Partner (mid-manager) who manages a team of Key Account Associates covering franchisees across the territory. You report to the Director of Enterprise & Key Accounts, France, and are based in Paris (this is a hybrid role).

You are the senior commercial owner for your portfolio — accountable for revenue growth, partner satisfaction, and team excellence. Beyond day-to-day account management, you will play a central role in aligning the organisation to strategic priorities: from contract structuring and joint business planning, to supporting Deliveroo's city expansion strategy by securing anchor restaurant partners in new and relaunching markets.

This is a senior leadership role with direct impact on revenue, partner satisfaction, and team development.
