Job Description

More than 1/3 of all food produced in the world is wasted. And that has a huge impact on the health of our planet. 10% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste and loss.
Through our marketplace app, we connect businesses that have unsold, surplus food, with consumers who can buy and enjoy it at ? of retail value. We are a certified B Corporation with a mission to empower everyone to take action against food waste. Alongside our marketplace app, we create educational tools, explore new business solutions, and influence legislation to help reduce food waste.
We're growing fast: Our community of 111 million registered users and 237,000 active partners across 19 countries, have together already saved 410 million meals from going to waste!

In this role, you will introduce potential partners to the world of Too Good To Go, train them how to use the app and advise them on finding the best possible solution for food waste.

• Driven not only by individual performance but also by the desire to see your team succeed

then we'd love to hear from you!
