Description

At Too Good To Go, we have an ambitious mission: to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together. 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 ⅓ 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 132 million registered users and 259,000+ active partners across 20 countries, have together already saved 512+ million meals from going to waste - avoiding almost 1,383,000 tonnes of CO2e! We are adding a Partner Manager to our team. This is a fixed-term contract for 6 months This role will be based in Amsterdam or Brussels, focusing on The Netherlands & Belgium business. You will report directly into the Regional Head of Commercial and will work in a small but motivated team. You will speak Dutch & English fluently, French is a bonus! Your Mission: If you love food but hate food waste and want to work for a business that places its food-saving mission and customer experience at the core of each and every decision then look no further! This is a role where you are truly in the driving seat of your success, working alongside an exceptional team to reduce food waste in the manufacturing supply chain. Our “Too Good To Go Parcel” (Manufacturing) business is a transformative solution that enables food manufacturers to effectively reduce food waste while extracting value from surplus food. Through direct purchasing from food manufacturers, Too Good To Go carefully curates and assembles the purchased products into “Too Good To Go Parcels”, which are then offered to our users at a discount of ~50% off of original retail (including shipping costs). Sold through our existing B2C marketplace, customers can opt to have their parcel conveniently delivered to their doorstep or pick it up from a nearby location, creating a surprise element as customers unbox their Too Good To Go Parcel. Instead of allowing these products to go to waste, manufacturers significantly decrease their environmental impact, optimise their revenue by maximising the value of saved food, and enhance product visibility in the market. We are building a global team of best-in-class, ambitious, motivated, and collaborative people who all share a desire to change the world as well as have an inherent love of food!
