Description

We are looking for a talented Food Rescue Project Lead, who will play a critical role in developing, testing and scaling our new digital platform, OzHarvestLink.

 

Working closely with Woolworths and internal stakeholders, you will lead the phased rollout of the platform and help ensure it is embedded effectively across our donor and agency network. You will also support other national food rescue and logistics projects, including optimisation initiatives with key partners.

 

OzHarvestLink will enable agencies to collect food directly from stores themselves in areas where the yellow van model cannot operate efficiently. This creates a more flexible and comprehensive approach to food recovery. OzHarvestLink will be embedded across our food donor network, supporting OzHarvest to deliver broader, more flexible national food rescue coverage.

 

This full-time role will need you to have experience in managing internal and external relationships with stakeholders, particularly volunteers, donors and recipient agencies. Strong project management skills and ad excellent long-term thinking and planning skills, balanced with ability to react quickly to events and to prioritise in a fast-moving environment are keys to success. The location is flexible. We can’t wait to meet you!

If you would like to apply, please speak to your manager and apply with a cover letter explaining your interest.

Company Overview

Founded by Ronni Kahn AO in 2004 after noticing the huge volume of food going to waste, OzHarvest quickly grew to become Australia’s leading food rescue organisation. Food is at our core, saving surplus food from ending up in landfill and delivering it to charities that help feed people in need. We are committed to halving food waste by 2030, inspiring and influencing others to do the same, and transforming lives through education.
