Business Development Manager

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

Why do we need to do that? Because more than 1/3 of the 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

As the world's largest food waste-fighting app, we connect stores that have unsold, surplus food with consumers who buy and enjoy it. But we're more than an app: we are a certified B Corporation and our mission is to inspire and empower everyone to take action against food waste, so we're doing all we can to create educational tools, make our knowledge as accessible as possible, find new business solutions and even change legislation to reduce food waste.

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 Business Development Manager to join us in our Dublin office.
