Are you an experienced project or partnership professional who wants to closely with, and support international food banks to increase their impact through technology?
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.
FoodCloud works alongside food banks as a long-term partner, supporting the sector through a combination of practical technology, collaboration and thought leadership.
By bringing together food banks, donors and food businesses through a shared digital platform, FoodCloud helps enable greater traceability, clearer impact reporting and more connected redistribution, while respecting the different contexts, capacities and priorities of each food bank.

Reporting to the Partnerships Director and working as part of the International Partnerships team, the role involves building trusted relationships, supporting peer learning, and bringing insights from international partnerships back into FoodCloud to help inform product development, partnership strategy and the organisation's contribution to the sector.
