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 are looking for a creative and organised individual to join our Marketing team as a Creative Executive. A content-first role, you will craft high-quality, engaging strategic content that resonates with our audience across our paid and organic social media strategies – including video editing, asset creation, and content briefing, ensuring Oddbox’s messaging is delivered in a compelling and brand-aligned way. You’ll play a key role in awareness, engagement and customer acquisition. If you have a passion for storytelling and creating engaging content, we would love to hear from you.
