Business development intern

Salary Unpaid

GRIM is a start-up working to fight food waste. We do this in two ways: through our B2C GRIM subscription box containing ugly-by-nature organic and surplus fruit and vegetables. We sell our wonky produce also to B2B to food businesses. We shipped our first box in July 2018 and have so far saved 100 tons of food. We are growing fast and are now looking for a diligent and pro-active intern who can assist the CEO in managing GRIM's growth projects. Could it be you?

Working at
EAT GRIM

EAT GRIM is a platform for ugly and surplus fruits and vegetables. We are fighting one of the world’s most pressing environmental issues: about 1/3 of fruits and vegetables produced are lost for aesthetic reasons or because they are overproduced - while we are worried that we can’t feed the growing populations of the world. So in 2018, we created EAT GRIM. We source the ugly and surplus produce directly from farms and bring it to the market in two ways: through a food box subscription to private consumers, making it easy for consumers to eat more sustainably. We also supply GRIM produce to food businesses that want to make their sourcing more sustainable and transparent. We're a small but hardcore team that works closely together to disrupt one of the most conservative and wasteful industries in the world. Up for the challenge? Then keep your eyes out for our job opportunities!
