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. We’re growing fast: Our community of 107+ million users in 19 countries have already saved more than 388 million meals from going to waste - avoiding more than 1 Million tonnes of CO2e!
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!
Your Mission:
As a Business Developer, you’ll identify potential partners and connect with the best food businesses (restaurants, butchers, bakeries, supermarkets a
nd many more). 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 (but in 2025 we will be moving to our brand new office in Brussels) and onboard new partners on the phone.
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!
Are you the Sales Specialist we’re looking for?
- You’re fluent in Dutch and you are strong in English. The more languages you speak, the better! It’s a plus!
- You have experience or a strong interest in sales and/or business development
- You're a terrific talker (and a better listener)
- Perseverance is your middle name: once you’ve started working on an opportunity, you won’t stop until it is qualified and converted to a yes. Rather than sitting and waiting to see what happens, you take the bull by the horns and don’t take rejection personally.
- You jump on the opportunity to go knock on doors and pay a visit to potential new partners
- You have zero fear of the phone and have the tenacity to keep trying when things get tough
- You’re eager to learn about new ways of doing sales and other soft skills

A Movement for Everyone
We want to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together. With that mission, it’s only natural that we want to build a diverse and inclusive team of highly capable individuals who are passionate about doing things in a better way. We strongly believe we all excel and are more creative when we’re allowed to be ourselves, and we’re committed to a culture where all of us belong.
We are an equal opportunity employer and all employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit and business need. If you need reasonable accommodation at any point in the application or interview process, please let us know.
What We Do
We are a B Corp certified, social impact company fighting food waste around the world. It's important because the food we waste accounts for 8-10% of all CO2e emissions.
We're best known for our app, which is the world's largest B2C marketplace for surplus food. Here, restaurants, cafés, supermarkets, bakeries, canteens and wholesalers in 15 countries prevent their surplus from going to waste by connecting with our millions of users.
Here's what the World Economic Forum has to say about us: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/03/app-leftovers-fight-food-waste-togoodtogo/
We're also featured as a Europe-wide solution by Zero Waste Europe: https://zerowasteeurope.eu/library/the-story-of-too-good-to-go/
Food waste is a global challenge in need of many solutions, and we run projects with businesses, households, schools and public affairs to create real, tangible impact.
We are always on the look out for talented and like-minded individuals so if you're up for the challenge, check out our open positions at https://toogoodtogo.org/en/careers/opportunities
