At Too Good To Go, we dream of a planet with no food waste!
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 17 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 15+ million meals in Belgium and over 300 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.
Sounds like your kind of mission, but what will it entail?
As an Inbound Sales Intern, you’ll identify potential partners and connect with the best food businesses (restaurants, cafes, bakeries and many more). You will convince new potential partners to join the food waste movement.
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!
Above all, you’re hungry to get out there, build connections and grow our community of food waste warriors!
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 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
