If this sounds like you, we have the ideal role here at FoodCloud.
About The Role
Food banks are at the heart of efforts to address food insecurity, working every day to redistribute surplus food to people who need it most. As the scale and complexity of food redistribution grows, many food banks are exploring how shared learning, partnerships and thoughtful use of technology can help strengthen operations, increase reach and better demonstrate the impact of their work.

The International Food Bank Project Manager will play a key role in supporting food banks to engage with and benefit from this approach. Working collaboratively with food banks, international networks such as the Global FoodBanking Network (GFN), and commercial food partners, the role will support onboarding, knowledge-sharing and long-term adoption in a way that adds genuine value for food banks and strengthens the wider food banking ecosystem.
