Senior Product Manager

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

More than 40% of all food produced in the world is wasted and retailers lose between 1-3% of their annual sales due to food waste. All of this waste has a huge impact on the health of our planet, with 10% of greenhouse gas emissions coming from food waste. 

The Retail Technologies teams at Too Good To Go are working on our new software solution, the Too Good To Go Platform, used directly by Retailers to track and redistribute surplus food seamlessly. This B2B app, connected to our consumer marketplace, helps stores better manage expiry dates by; detecting products that are about to expire, recommending what to do with them, and facilitating their redistribution (via discounting for in-store customers, donations to charities, or sales on the marketplace). This business app is already used by tens of thousands of store employees every day, and soon to be hundreds of thousands by the end of the year in several countries. 

We’re more than an app: we are a certified B Corporation with a mission to empower everyone to take action against food waste, so alongside our marketplace app, we create educational tools, explore new business solutions - such as our Retail Technologies offering -, and influence legislation to help reduce food waste.

We are growing fast, with a community of 108 million users in 19 countries. Together, we have saved more than 395 million meals from going to waste since we started - but there’s still a lot more we want to achieve. 

Your mission

With our current scale and impact on the problem of food waste, it is vitally important that we continue to innovate and to create a product that brings strong and ever-increasing value to our partners.

Responsibilities

As a Senior Product Manager, you will play a key role in building and improving our new Donation solution which enables retailers and foodstores to easily redistribute their food surplus to charities and people in need. “Donations” is a strategic new module in our product portfolio: it will increase our footprint in stores operations, will create a new lever to fight food waste whilst addressing the issue of food insecurity simultaneously. You will be responsible for building and improving this product. 

More specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Suggesting ways to optimise and drive efficiencies in our ways of working.
• Overall, being in the driver's seat in making recommendations to the senior leadership team and managing their feedback and push-back.

• Strong verbal and written communications
