WHO ARE WE?

At Bene Bono, your grocery shopping makes a difference!

Bene Bono offers environmentally & socially shopping with prices up to 40% lower.

In concrete terms, we provide a weekly selection of top-quality products directly saved from waste at discounted prices.

By shopping with Bene Bono, you:

• Support producers and manufacturers in upgrading their products,
• Take control of your consumption by actively participating in waste reduction efforts,
• Save money without compromising the quality of your groceries.

HOW DOES IT WORK ?

• 200% saved from waste: products directly sourced from producers and manufacturers that would have otherwise gone unsold due to arbitrary distribution standards (size, shape, color, overproduction, etc.),
• 100% top quality: all our products adhere to our rigorous quality policy (taste, freshness, no harmful or controversial ingredients, ethical sourcing, no heated greenhouses for fruits and vegetables, etc.), including organic and locally sourced fruits and vegetables,
• 100% flexibility: subscription with no commitment (we're not like Free, but we understand), weekly deliveries, easy skip option for when you're away or unable to receive the delivery.

Today, we have already saved over 2600 tons of products, thanks to 23,000 satisfied customers. Tomorrow, we aim to save thousands of tons of products and deliver them across Europe!

As a fast-growing startup (with millions in ARR), we are focused on our mission and have the ambition to build an exceptional team in France and abroad (currently in Spain, but throughout Europe in the future). We already have more than 80 team members, called "Benies," and we continue to hire to support our growth. It's the perfect place to enjoy working as a team, have rapid career growth opportunities, and make a significant impact on the environment.

REQUIRED PROFILE

We're looking for someone with a minimum of 4 years of hands-on experience supporting teams in a fast-paced environment.

We expect a deep-rooted understanding and practical experience with the three crucial financial statements: the Profit & Loss statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statement. This knowledge should extend beyond mere familiarity, providing you with a comprehensive ability to both prepare and analyze these documents with precision. 

Your proficiency with Excel or Gsheet should enable you to manipulate data swiftly and accurately, ensuring integrity and reliability in your work.

But it's not all about the numbers ! 

You're meticulous in your work because you know the devil's in the details. You've got a knack for spotting trends, gaps or patterns making complex issues seem like a walk in the park. 

Your business intuition is top-notch, helping you see beyond the numbers to what really matters. 

And when it comes to navigating the exciting world of a fast-growing company, you're as savvy as they come, ready to lead the charge in shaping new processes and tackling challenges head-on.
