Our Vision: A UK where “No good food goes to waste”.

Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to approximately 8,500 frontline charities and community groups.  Every week we provide enough food to create almost a million meals for vulnerable people.

We aim to recruit from a wide variety of backgrounds, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it makes our company stronger. If you share our values and our commitment to redistributing surplus food, come and join us!

The role

This pivotal new role will play a central part in shaping and delivering an innovative logistics strategy to support FareShare’s rapid growth and ensure the efficient and safe transportation of food across the FareShare Network.

As FareShare continues to scale, this role is key to optimising our transport operations—streamlining processes, leveraging data-driven insights, and implementing innovative solutions to deliver food in a timely and cost-effective manner while upholding our commitment to fairness and accessibility.

The successful candidate will lead our relationships with leading transport and logistics providers, working closely with the haulage industry to align national and local transport solutions. This role demands an analytical mindset, a proven track record of driving efficiency, and the ability to identify new opportunities for collaboration and growth.

We are seeking an experienced professional from the logistics and transport sector, ideally with expertise in food distribution. If you thrive on innovation, excel in developing partnerships to achieve shared goals, and are motivated by the opportunity to drive systemic improvements, this role offers the perfect platform to make a meaningful impact.

  •  Identify and develop new partnerships with hauliers, engaging through direct meetings and building relationships to support FareShare’s growth.
  •  Collaborate with logistics companies to identify and utilise surplus capacity within their operations, aligning with FareShare’s mission to maximise resources.
