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.
