About the Role
At Too Good To Go, we have an ambitious mission: to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together. More than one third of all food produced globally is wasted, contributing to 10% of greenhouse gas emissions. Through our marketplace app, we connect businesses with surplus food to consumers who can purchase it at one third of retail value. Alongside the app, we create educational tools, explore new business solutions, and influence legislation to reduce food waste.

We are rapidly growing with a community of 120 million registered users and 180,000 active partners across 20 countries, having saved over 500 million meals from going to waste. In 2023, Too Good To Go was recognized on Fortune's 'Change the World' list, named one of Deloitte's 'Best Managed Companies', and won a 'Cultural Impact Award' at the Apple App Store Awards.
