Can I join if my degree is unrelated to technology or logistics?

Absolutely. We hire across a broad range of functions and value diverse perspectives, experiences, and academic backgrounds.

At Deliveroo, Emiratisation is more than a hiring initiative. It’s about building long-term careers, developing future leaders, and contributing to the UAE’s vision for a knowledge-based, innovation-driven economy.
