Centre of Excellence Lead — Data Science & Machine Learning

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 120 million registered users and 180,000 active partners across 20 countries have together already prevented 500+ million meals from going to waste
