Talent Acquisition Team Lead

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

More than 1/3 of all 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. Through our marketplace app, we connect businesses that have unsold, surplus food, with consumers who can buy and enjoy it at ⅓ of retail value.

We’re growing fast: our community of 120 million registered users and 180,000 active partners across 20 countries, have together already saved over 500 million meals from going to waste

We are now looking for an exceptional Talent Acquisition Lead (GTM & Marketing) to join us at Too Good To Go in Chicago.
