Key Account Executive - Fixed Term Contract

AI overview

Drive growth in partnerships with major brands like Q8 and 7-Eleven, while combating food waste through innovative strategies and strong stakeholder engagement.

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