Sales Specialist

**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

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 60 million users, and more than 171 million meals saved.

We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, and we are just at the start of the journey, so there's still a lot more we want to achieve.

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 a dedicated Sales Specialist with a passion for tackling food waste to join our Belgian Team.

**Your mission**:
You’ll identify potential partners and connect with the best food businesses. Every week, you will either jump on your bike, on the bus or on the train to go and convince new potential partners to join the food waste movement, or work from our awesome office in Ghent (which is just a 10-minute walk from the Sint-Pieters station) and onboard new partners on the phone.

Above all, in this role, you'll be a hunter. You're hungry to get out there, build connections and grow our community of food waste warriors by signing up restaurants, butchers, bakeries, supermarkets and other local food retailers.

You’ll represent and pitch Too Good To Go with clarity and passion, and show the food business owners you encounter how Too Good To Go is a win-win-win solution. You will train the partners you’ve brought on board and make sure they become top ambassadors of the food waste movement
