Job description

First, let us briefly introduce ourselves to you. We are Too Good To Go, a certified and proud B-corp with a clear mission: to inspire and empower everyone to take action against food waste 🌍 . We were founded in Denmark in 2015 and currently operate in 17 countries. In 2018 Too Good To Go started in Belgium where we have grown rapidly together with our users and partners to a team of over 30 aspiring Food Heroes.

📲 You probably know us from our app, through which we offer leftover food and products from supermarkets, restaurants, suppliers, cafés, bakeries, hotels and specialty stores, among others, to users of our app. In this way, we have already saved about 15+ million meals in Belgium and over 300 million meals from waste worldwide - and that's just the beginning! Because we look beyond the app, whether to households, schools, businesses and entrepreneurs or politicians: we want to inspire and empower everyone to take action together!

We are proud of what we have achieved so far, but have we mentioned that the problem is huge? That's why we are looking for an intern to support our sales team and to combat climate change & help us make our mission a reality.

Your mission

As our Sales Intern, you'll identify potential partners and connect with the best food businesses (restaurants, cafés, bakeries and many more).
You will convince new potential partners to join the food waste movement.
Under the wing of our business developers, you will either jump on your bike or on the train, go "Into the Wild" in Flemish part of Belgium or Brussels & Wallonia, or help identify & qualify good potential leads from our awesome office in Ghent (which is just a 10-minute walk from the Sint-Pieters station) and help us onboard new partners on the phone.
You'll represent and learn how to pitch Too Good To Go with clarity and passion, and show the food business owners you encounter how Too Good To Go is a win-win-win solution.
You will learn how to train the partners you've brought on board and make sure they become top ambassadors of the food waste movement!
Above all, you're hungry to get out there, build connections and grow our community of food waste warriors!

We encourage you to bring us your unique skills, passion, perspectives and background to help us with the fight against food waste.

You are fluent in French or Dutch. You have a professional level in English. You speak other languages too? That's always a plus!
You're looking for an internship of minimum of 4 months starting in September 2024.

You have zero fear of the phone and have the tenacity to keep trying when things get tough
You represent our mission with passion and can't wait to get out there to make an impact every day!
