Senior Program Manager

(Berlin, Copengagen, Lisbon, London, Milan)

At Too Good To Go, we have an ambitious goal: to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste.

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 113+ million users in 19 countries have already saved more than 419 million meals from going to waste - saving more than 1,132,000+ tonnes of CO2e! This year, Too Good To Go also reached 7th place among the most downloaded Food & Drink Apps worldwide, in the H1 2022 Apptopia ranking.

We look for talented people with diverse backgrounds to join our team. Right now, we’re recruiting a Senior Program Manager in a hybrid setting from one of our EMEA offices (London, Lisbon, Berlin, Copenhagen or Milan).

The Tool trainer understands the importance of using Commercial tools in the best way possible, and is able to pass on this knowledge to tool users. You will support and inspire teams through the development of training materials and delivery of both in-person and online training sessions.
