About The Position

Head of Marketing and Communications Sharing Excess is one of the fastest-growing food rescue organizations in America, built on a simple but powerful mission: save food and feed communities. What started as a student startup now operates across the country, distributing 2 million pounds of food every week (100 million pounds annually) to thousands of community partners nationwide. Our work is visionary, impactful, and deeply human. We move quickly, think creatively, and operate like a high-growth startup. We’ve partnered with some of the biggest names and brands on the planet (MrBeast, Tony Robbins, Billie Eilish, Dole) to bring awareness to our mission. Now we’re seeking individuals to join our team who can deliver with excellence, raise the bar, and are (above all) passionate about making the world a better place. The Head of Marketing and Communications will shape how the world sees Sharing Excess.

You will build a cohesive marketing engine that spans social, press, video, partnerships and events, and you will work closely with leadership to grow a brand that stands out. You will manage a small but mighty team, collaborate across departments, and create clear narratives that move people to share, give, and take action. This role is central to how we expand our influence, attract new partners, and build a movement that changes how America thinks about food waste and food access.
