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

Why do we need to do that? Because 1/3 of the food produced in the world is wasted. And that has a huge impact on the health of our planet, 8% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste!

As the world's largest food waste-fighting app, we connect stores that have unsold, surplus food with consumers who buy and enjoy it. But we're more than an app: we are a certified B Corporation and our mission is to inspire and empower everyone to take action against food waste, so we're doing all we can to create educational tools, make our knowledge as accessible as possible, find new business solutions and even change legislation to reduce food waste.

We're growing fast, with our community of 71 million users in 17 countries saving more than 194 million meals from going to waste! But there's still a lot more we want to achieve.

That means we're looking for talented people with diverse skills and backgrounds to add to our rapidly growing team. That is where you come in: we're looking for an exceptional Business Developer to join us in our London office.

Your mission:

You will play a pivotal role in the growth of Too Good To Go UK and the fight against food waste by using your excellent business development skills and experience to acquire and grow partnerships with major UK & global chains in the food to go sector with a particular focus on quick service restaurants (fast food).

Your Role:

Your primary responsibility is to win new key accounts by identifying and researching new opportunities, building rapport with stakeholders and ultimately signing their business up to a partnership with Too Good to Go. You will support these accounts through the onboarding and roll out process and continue to look for ways to strengthen and grow the relationship. Reporting to the Key Account Lead responsible for the On The Go food sector, you will collaborate with other Key Accounts team members, as well as colleagues across marketing, independent sales, and partner success.

The role will include:

• Pitching: create & deliver high quality, professional presentations to potential partners, and confidently speak about the business and food waste proposition
• Proactive business development and relationship building: independently and proactively outreach to gain meetings and build rapport with stakeholders and decision-makers
• Research: independently search for new opportunities, learn about the businesses in depth, map the stakeholders and understand their decision-making process
• Full responsibility for managing a clear pipeline of opportunities and stakeholders in Salesforce
• Account Management of key chains: autonomy in managing your own portfolio of chains and ensuring the relationship is strong and business KPIs are met
• Account Growth: have an innovative and problem solving mindset when developing strategies to grow your accounts and working with the retailer to increase store coverage and overall supply
• Planning and forecasting: building reports to track performance and identify trends, create financial projections and forecasts for internal planning and commercial proposals

• Project & Time Management: internally working with multiple teams on the roll out projects, and also with the retailer to plan, schedule and execute store rollouts at pace and scale

Requirements:

• Business Development / Sales skills, demonstrating an ability to make connections, create rapport, nurture and win business by selling in a proposition to a variety of senior stakeholders. Ideally you'll have excelled in National Account Manager or Sales Manager roles; however, what's most important is that you demonstrate the qualities and skills central to successful business development.
• Ability to lead negotiations skilfully, and create and deliver high impact pitches
• You're a master communicator, you know when to speak, you know how to listen, and you know how to engage a whole room and keep their attention
• Excellent commercial acumen
• A passion for the mission and raising awareness of food waste & sustainability
• Strong organisational skills and ability to work independently and efficiently
• Solid commercial and network experience working in the on the go sector or in food supply chain manufacturers, and an in depth knowledge and understanding of UK retail in this sector is ideal, however we are open to applications from someone with demonstrated ability to develop business across multiple industries who is excited to learn about this sector of the food industry.
• Beneficial: Data Analysis and MS Excel skills to use raw data to create performance reports and projections to identify and understand trends, opportunities and issues.

Our Values:

We fight together: food waste is a big beast to fight. We can do it if we fight together as Waste Warriors with no ego. We believe in a #oneteam.

We raise the bar: we always push for more. We work smart, smash barriers and elevate one another.

We keep it simple: our ambitions are bold, but our solutions are simple.

We build a legacy: we're proud of the change we're driving.
