Job description

Did you know that in Belgium, we throw away 7 tons of food that is still edible every minute? 🤔 While access to food is often far too expensive or impossible for a large part of the population...

Faced with this observation, we have decided to roll up our sleeves by proposing a new management of unsold food in order to fight against food waste and facilitate access to a varied diet for all.

With our distribution network, all unsold goods have a second life! Every day, we collect products from Belgian distributors at the end of their sell-by date. Part of it is sold at half price to individuals via our App, the other part is delivered every day and free of charge to charities.

Today, we are active in Brussels where food insecurity and waste are still far from being resolved. We therefore want to strengthen our solution within Brussels, and in all regions where unsold goods are waiting to be saved.

For that, we need you!

As a Key Account Manager, you will be responsible for managing partnerships with our suppliers of unsold food. Your main missions will be to:

Develop and maintain strong relationships with our suppliers, understanding their needs and offering tailored solutions.
Identify new partnership opportunities and proactively negotiate them.
Collaborate with our internal teams to ensure supplier satisfaction and retention.
Monitor performance indicators and propose continuous improvement actions.
