Legal Student Worker

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

More than 1/3 of all food produced in the world is wasted, and that has a huge impact on the environment: 10% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste and loss. Through our marketplace app, we work with thousands of restaurants and food retailers to make their surplus food available to local consumers at a discounted rate. The magic of Too Good To Go has been spreading rapidly across Europe, North America and Australia, with more than 436 million meals saved globally and 122 million registered users.

That means we’re looking for talented people with diverse skills and backgrounds to add to our rapidly growing team - and that is where you come in!

• You will help the legal team with compliance activities, mainly within data privacy but also food regulatory compliance, including assisting with building and managing our data privacy framework and answering data protection requests from users.
