About Bolt
Bolt is shaping a future where cities are built for people, not cars. What started as an ambitious project of a 19-year-old in 2013 has grown into a global mobility platform used by more than 200 million customers and 4.5 million driver and courier partners across 50 countries.
From ride-hailing and food delivery to scooters, e-bikes, and car-sharing, Bolt helps people move through cities every day. Small, autonomous teams drive this work, combining the speed and ownership of a startup with the scale of a global technology company backed by more than €1bn in funding.
And we're just getting started.
Why join Bolt?
• Build the future of mobility and help transform how people live and move in cities.
• Tackle challenges at scale that span technology, operations, regulation, and growth.
• Take real ownership early. Small, lean teams mean your decisions matter from day one, and you'll learn fast alongside some of the best people in the industry.
• Join one of Europe's leading technology companies, backed by world-class investors including Sequoia.
About The Role
We are looking for a Health and Safety Specialist to own OHS compliance across Bolt's African markets and a set of designated satellite countries. You will be the regional expert: running audits, turning safety data into decisions, managing external partners, and making sure every Bolt team is equipped to stay safe.
This is a high-ownership role. You will work closely with Operations, People, Hardware Engineering, and senior leadership, and you will lead global safety training and awareness campaigns on top of your regional responsibilities.
Main Tasks And Responsibilities
• Ensure Bolt meets its legal OHS obligations across African markets, including risk assessments, mandatory training, and statutory documentation.
• Conduct regular audits across main and satellite markets; identify gaps and drive corrective actions to closure.
• Set up and oversee HSE Committees in all markets where local law requires them.
• Own the H&S data dashboard: collect, analyse, and present quarterly performance data to leadership.
• Develop, lead, and measure global OHS training and awareness campaigns.
• Support satellite market teams with compliance guidance, and manage external H&S consultants to ensure they deliver against their obligations.
• Lead incident and crisis investigations when they occur, and communicate findings clearly to relevant stakeholders.
• Contribute to the global SOP review cycle, keeping safety procedures current and consistent.
About You
• You hold a degree in Occupational Health and Safety, Environmental Health and Safety, Engineering, Risk Management, Compliance, Industrial Hygiene, or a related field.
• You have a recognised professional qualification such as NEBOSH, ISO 45001 auditor certification, or equivalent.
• You have significant OHS experience, including hands-on compliance work in at least one specific market.
• You have a track record of running audits, managing documentation, and delivering safety training or communications campaigns.
• You are data fluent: you can build or maintain a dashboard, identify trends, and explain what the numbers mean to a non-technical audience.
• You communicate with confidence in English, whether writing a safety brief or presenting findings to senior leadership.
• You have experience managing or coordinating with external safety consultants.
Why you’ll love it here
• Accelerate your professional growth with unique career opportunities.
• Enjoy a rewarding salary and stock options, knowing that as Bolt succeeds, so do you.
• Take care of your physical and mental health with our wellness perks.
• Celebrate 5 years at Bolt with a 1-month paid sabbatical to recharge.
• Connect with colleagues at annual company events and smaller team gatherings.
• Balance flexibility and in-person collaboration with our hybrid model, including at least 12 monthly in-office days.
Some perks may differ depending on your location and role.
At Bolt, using AI daily is a baseline expectation for everyone. If there’s a faster, smarter way to do your work, we expect you to find it. You’re still responsible for the output, so the standard stays high when using AI tools.
Experience is great, but what we really look for is drive, intelligence, and integrity. So even if you don’t tick every box, please consider applying!
Everyone is welcome
Bolt is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace where all qualified applicants are considered for employment without regard to race, colour, nationality, religion, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability.
We welcome applications from all backgrounds and are happy to make reasonable accommodations throughout our hiring process. If you require any adjustments, please let us know.
