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 a significantly reduced price. 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 84 million registered users and 209,000 active partners across 17 countries have together already saved 283 million meals from going to waste - avoiding almost 707,000 tonnes of CO2e!
Too Good To Go was named in FastCompany’s March 2022 list of the World's Most Innovative Companies, and was honoured to be included in TIME’s list of the 100 Most Influential Companies of 2022.
We’re looking for talented people with diverse skills and backgrounds to add to our rapidly growing team. That is where you come in: we’re looking for an exceptional City Launch Specialist to join us and help grow our impact.
This role is open to applicants from New York, Chicago, Austin, or San Francisco.
Your Mission
You're eager to build connections and grow our community by signing up cafes, bakeries, supermarkets, and any other independent food retailers in new Too Good To Go expansion markets.

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. You will work with the team to execute city-specific launch strategies including researching expansion markets to find early adoption prospects and uncover local nuances, identify decision-makers, provide cross-functional feedback, and generate interest for Too Good To Go.

What You Should Have

- A genuine motivation to contribute to our mission
