About Oddbox
As much as 2.5 billion tonnes of food are wasted globally every year – which plays a big part in the climate crisis. We’re on a mission to change that, with rescued fruit and veg from hard-working growers as well as plastic-free ingredients and brands that do good for the planet.
With fruit, veg and more delivered right to your door, we’re working towards a fairer food system - one where growers are supported and paid fairly, where produce doesn’t have to look ‘perfect’ and, most importantly, a food system where we never waste taste. No more unnecessary air miles or plastic - just delicious food that fights waste with every box.
The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Communications Executive to amplify Oddbox’s mission and tell powerful stories that inspire action.
Working closely with the Senior Brand Marketing Manager, you’ll work on Oddbox’s external communications, shape our narrative, and build the brand’s visibility across key channels - crafting authentic, impactful communications that turn sustainable choices into a mainstream movement.

🍏Produce content that reinforces our mission and supports key marketing campaigns.
🍏 Drive customer acquisition by securing the right content, placements and storytelling moments.
🍏Position Oddbox as a leading voice in food waste and sustainable consumption.

About Oddbox
Oddbox is a community-powered weekly rescue mission to save delicious, fresh fruit and veg which is deemed ‘too big’, ‘too ugly’, the ‘wrong colour', or simply ‘too many’ from going to waste. We deliver our boxes directly from the growers to people’s doorsteps across the UK.
With food waste being a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, Oddbox is building a community that together can play its part in fighting food waste and tackling climate change. We're a proud B Corp and have delivered over ten million boxes since we launched in 2016.
