Product Design Lead

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

40% of all food produced in the world is wasted. And that has a huge impact on the health of our planet, with 10% of greenhouse gas emissions coming from food waste. 

We’re more than an app: we are a certified B Corporation with a mission to empower everyone to take action against food waste, so alongside our marketplace app, we create educational tools, explore new business solutions - such as our Retail Technologies offering, and influence legislation to help reduce food waste.

We’re growing fast: Our community of 108 million registered users and 245,000 active partners across 19 countries, have together already prevented 395+ million meals from going to waste - avoiding over 1066.000 tonnes of CO2e!

Your Mission

As a Product Design Lead at Too Good To Go, you will guide and mentor a team of product designers focused on creating intuitive, impactful experiences for our partner-facing products. You will also work hands-on with designing user experience, features and products that help save food waste.
