Unlocking potential

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 one third of all the food produced in Europe.

We’re on a mission to change this and are rapidly expanding in Belgium. Our app connecting businesses with unsold food, and consumers willing to buy at a discounted rate has grown exponentially since 2016 to become the biggest in Europe, with over 45 million users, and more than 94 million meals saved.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and we are just at the start of the journey at our social impact company!

That means 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 Key Account Manager to join us in our team in Belgium.
