Second Harvest is Canada's largest food rescue organization and is a global thought leader on perishable food redistribution. We operate at the intersection of hunger relief and environmental protection, tackling food loss and waste through food redistribution, research, awareness, and education while continually innovating, and collaborating to ensure a more sustainable planet.

  • Identify, investigate, and resolve issues that may arise with program activities while working closely with Customer Support team.
  • Perform other related duties as required or assigned to support the overall goals of the organization.
You Are

  • Customer-Focused: you are slightly obsessive when it comes to the client/donor experience and strive to deliver an experience that is second-to-none.
  • Communicator: you have exceptional communication and diplomacy skills coupled with experience in cross-functional collaboration, partnering, and managing interpersonal relationships across an organization.
  • Analytical: data is your friend; you can translate numbers into action and pave the way for efficiency. You have an intermediate level on Excel (comfortable with using simple formulas and pivot tables).
  • Versatile and Adaptable: constant change motivates you to adapt and grow. You can work independently as well as in a team.
  • Experience working in a client-facing role within the food industry and/or retail an asset.
