at Too Good To Go

🏢 About Too Good To Go

Too Good To Go is a mission-driven company that uniquely combines technology with environmental impact by connecting consumers with surplus food from local businesses through their app. Working here means contributing directly to reducing global food waste while being part of a growing international movement. Their remote-first culture allows you to join a purpose-driven team from anywhere while making tangible environmental change.

About This Role

As Customer Experience Team Lead at Too Good To Go, you'll lead a remote team supporting both business partners (restaurants/stores) and app users across multiple countries. This role is impactful because you'll directly shape how customers experience their mission of reducing food waste while optimizing global operations. You'll balance performance management with team development in a fast-paced, purpose-driven environment.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start your day reviewing real-time performance dashboards across European time zones, then conduct 1:1s with team members to discuss both performance metrics and development goals. Afternoon could involve collaborating with the People & Culture team on hiring for your team, then analyzing weekly CSAT data to identify trends affecting both business partners and app users. You'd end the day planning next week's schedules to optimize coverage during peak order times across different markets.
