Descrizione del lavoro

More than one third of the food produced in the world is wasted, impacting the health of our planet, with 10% of greenhouse gas emissions stemming from food waste. At Too Good To Go, our ambitious goal is to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together. We are the world's #1 app for this cause, collaborating with thousands of restaurants and food retailers to make surplus food available to local consumers. Our efforts have expanded rapidly across Europe and the US, saving over 131 million meals across 17 countries to date. While proud of our achievements, we recognize the scale of the issue and continuously aim to raise the bar. We are seeking a dedicated professional to join us in this mission.

Your Mission

Too Good To Go is a successful scale-up with a solid business model, but the problem is vast. The faster we grow, the greater our impact.

You will be a key member of the COO management team, responsible for countries beyond the initial expansion phase, and a strategic partner to the COO. Additionally, you will advocate for our mission, influencing food waste reduction and the ecosystem.
