Sales Team Lead

Sales Team Lead

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

More than 1/3 of all food produced in the world is wasted. And that has a huge impact on the health of our planet. 10% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste and loss.

Through our marketplace app, we connect businesses that have unsold, surplus food, with consumers who can buy and enjoy it at ⅓ of retail value. We are a certified B Corporation with a mission to empower everyone to take action against food waste. Alongside our marketplace app, we create educational tools, explore new business solutions, and influence legislation to help reduce food waste.

As the team lead for the Independent Partner sales team, you will be crucial in accelerating partner growth in Sweden. This is an exciting journey where your daily work will make a direct, positive contribution to our core mission.

The role involves close collaboration with both the Commercial Director for Cluster North and the Head of Key Account Sweden to drive growth within the Swedish market.

The sales team lead will drive the acquisition strategy in Sweden for the Independent Sales function, ensuring we continue to significantly grow our independent food business partners across the country, with a focus on excellent geographic coverage, efficiency, and quality. The role will involve leading a passionate team of sales professionals, motivating them to maximize their performance, work together collaboratively, and embrace best practice in operational processes.
