Stage - Operations Assistant
Too Good To Go
It's a 6 months internship, with a starting date at the beginning of January :)
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 ⅓ of retail value. 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 78 million registered users and 189,000 active partners across 17 countries, have together already saved over 224 million meals from going to waste - avoiding almost 560,000 tonnes of CO2e!
Too Good To Go was named in Fast Company’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 an Operations intern to join our superstar Manufacturing Team at Too Good To Go for 6 months in our office in Paris 🚀. As an intern you will have the chance to learn how supply chain works, from planning to logistics, contribute in daily operations and take part in the after-sales process.
Your mission
Our recently launched “Magic Parcel” (Manufacturing) business is a transformative solution that enables food manufacturers to effectively reduce food waste while extracting value from surplus food. Through direct purchasing from food manufacturers, Too Good To Go carefully curates and assembles the purchased products into “Magic Parcels”, which are then offered to our users at a discount of ~50% off of original retail (including shipping costs). Sold through our existing B2C marketplace, consumers can have their parcel conveniently delivered to their doorstep, creating a surprise element as consumers unbox their Magic Parcel. Instead of allowing these products to go to waste, manufacturers significantly decrease their environmental impact, optimize their revenue by maximizing the value of saved food, and enhance product visibility in the market.
We are looking for highly motivated and enthusiastic individuals to join us as interns in the Operations and Supply department. This internship provides a valuable opportunity to gain practical experience in a professional setting while assisting with various tasks related to operations, production and after-sales functions. The intern will work closely with our team to support the efficient running of day-to-day operations.
Passion about saving food, sustainability, curiosity, innovation and willingness to learn are highly appreciated.
