About the role

As Food Sourcing Manager, you'll be the bridge between City Harvest and their food partners.

You'll manage donor relationships, coordinate impactful events and champion campaigns like the annual Harvest Festival.

About the Company

City Harvest has a mission to reduce food insecurity and protect the planet by diverting quality, nutritious, edible surplus food from waste and redistributing it to those facing food poverty.

At the heart of what they do is a belief that sharing food and nourishing others is one of the simplest, most powerful ways of showing they care, and they are committed to doing just that, across London and beyond.

By rescuing food from retailers, manufacturers, distributors and events and supplying organisations such as schools, community centres, food banks, women's refuges, homeless charities, soup kitchens and refugee centres, City Harvest aims to address two of London's biggest problems: Food waste and food poverty, which leads to malnutrition.

By re-distributing food that would otherwise be wasted, they make businesses more sustainable and more impactful while taking food to grassroots organisations that feed some of the most vulnerable people across London.
