Head of Business Operations - North America

At Too Good To Go, we have an ambitious mission: to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together. Through our marketplace app, we connect businesses that have unsold, surplus food with consumers who buy and enjoy it at ½ price or less.

At Too Good To Go, you’ll join a team that cares about developing strategic partnerships, making value-based decisions, and finding innovative solutions to the world’s food waste crisis. You’ll lead an elite team to elevate our North American growth and collaborate daily with world-class minds – while doing work that’s both high-impact and deeply meaningful.

As Head of Business Operations, you will surface areas for improvement and work cross-functionally to develop and execute tactics and processes to drive performance, down to the hyperlocal level. While you will report directly to the Associate Director of Strategy & Operations, you will be part of the North America Leadership Team and work closely with the Vice President of Operations.
