🏢 About Too Good To Go

Too Good To Go is a mission-driven company on a mission to reduce food waste globally. Their app connects users with surplus food from restaurants, cafes, and grocery stores, making it easy to save delicious food from being thrown away. Working here means joining a passionate team dedicated to fighting climate change and creating a more sustainable food system.

About This Role

As an Enterprise Account Manager for the UK/IE franchise portfolio, you will be the key driver of growth and optimization for major franchise partners like KFC, Costa, and Greggs.

You'd end the day updating account strategies and preparing a quarterly business review presentation.
