At Too Good To Go, we dream of a planet with no food waste.

Imagine if there was something we could all change today that would reduce global warming by 8%. That’s how much food waste contributes to the climate crisis, and yet we continue to waste 40% of all the food produced in the US.

We’re on a mission to change this and are building our New York team now!

Our app connecting businesses with unsold food, and consumers willing to buy at a discounted rate has grown since 2016 to become the biggest in Europe, with over 22 Million users, and more than 40 million meals saved.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, but we are just at the start of our US journey...

Your mission

We are looking for an experienced, dedicated and self-driven Head of Sales with a passion for tackling food waste. You will report to the Regional Director - East Coast and develop our sales strategy.

You will lead the team responsible for acquiring new independent stores (think coffee shops, restaurants, bakeries). This is a great challenge for a hungry and driven sales professional who can build, lead and nurture an enthusiastic sales team in a fast-paced environment without losing sight of our mission.
