Partner Development Coordinator
Full Time
Cincinnati, OH - Remote

Who We Are:

With the rising cost of food and the challenges faced by our supply chain, Flashfood has become a staple in many North American families. At Flashfood, we are on a mission to reduce the environmental impact of food waste and provide our communities with easier access to healthy, affordable food. We are tackling this gigantic problem with a diverse team of people from all different walks of life.

When food gets thrown out, most times it ends up in a landfill and gets covered by other garbage, rotting and producing methane gas. Flashfood partners with grocery chains to allow them to sell surplus food through the Flashfood app at significant discounts for its users while reducing store-level food waste.

We take great pride in our accomplishments and are honored to be recognized as one of Fast Company’s World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2023, ranking #1 in the Social Good Category. This acknowledgment reaffirms our commitment to driving positive change in the industry. Flashfood has also been designated as a Great Place to Work and our team is growing! As we continue to grow, we are focused on fostering a culture of inclusion, where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive. Our current team is over 51% women, and we’re proud to say over 47% female representation within leadership positions.
