Sales Hero Internship - Dutch Speaking (Jan 2025)

Sales Intern 

First, let us briefly introduce ourselves to you. We are Too Good To Go, a certified and proud B-corp with a clear mission: to inspire and empower  everyone to take action against food waste 🌍. We were founded in Denmark in 2015 and currently operate in 19 countries. In 2018 Too Good To Go started in Belgium where we have grown rapidly together with our users and partners to a team of over 30 aspiring Food Heroes.

📲 You probably know us from our app, through which we offer leftover food and products from supermarkets, restaurants, suppliers, cafés, bakeries, hotels and specialty stores, among others, to users of our app. In this way, we have already saved about 17+ million meals in Belgium and over 480 million meals from waste worldwide - and that's just the beginning! Because we look beyond the app, whether to households, schools, businesses and entrepreneurs or politicians: we want to inspire and empower everyone to take action together! 

We are proud of what we have achieved so far, but have we mentioned that the problem is huge?  That's why we are looking for an intern to support our sales team and to combat climate change & help us make our mission a reality.

Your mission

As our Sales Intern, you’ll identify potential partners and connect with the best food businesses (restaurants, cafés, bakeries and many more). You will convince new potential partners to join the food waste movement. Under the wing of our senior sales specialist, you will either jump on your bike or on the train, go “Into the Wild” in Flemish part of Belgium and help identify & qualify promising leads. You will also assist in onboarding new partners over the phone, ensuring they feel welcomed and informed about our mission.

You’ll represent and learn how to 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 learn how to train the partners you’ve brought on board and make sure they become top ambassadors of the food waste movement!

Above all, you’re hungry to get out there, build connections and grow our community of food waste warriors!

Currently, we operate from our awesome office in Ghent, which is just a 10-minute walk from the Sint-Pieters station. Excitingly, we are planning to move to a new office in Brussels by mid-February, 2025, so you'll have the opportunity to be part of this transition and contribute to our growth.

Why you are the Food Waste Warrior we’re looking for:

At Too Good To Go you are welcome for who you are, no matter where you come from, or what path you’re on, diversity is a strength! Too Good To Go is dedicated to inclusivity & equal employment opportunities and is an affirmative action employer!
We encourage you to bring us your unique skills, passion, perspectives and background to help us with the fight against food waste.

• You’re looking for an internship of minimum of 4 months starting in January that is also part of an official academic program!

• You represent our mission with passion and can’t wait to get out there to make an impact every day!

Our Values:

• We fight together: food waste is a big beast to fight. We can do it if we fight together as Food Heroes with no ego. We believe in #oneteam.

• We inspire everyone to reach for the skies and be the best version of yourself by giving you the right balance of freedom and structure, and make sure to bring in a good deal of fun.
• A place where we celebrate & play,  as hard as we work!  

We know what you’re thinking… “How can I send in my application?”

• Apply in English with your CV and a cover letter that tells us why we shouldn't want to live without you for a second longer! Please note that we only accept applications coming through our platform. 
• The deadline is “the sooner the better”
