Customer Success Manager

About Us

Food waste costs the world over $1 trillion a year. At Winnow, we're on a mission to change that — bringing AI-powered technology into hospitality kitchens to help eliminate waste at scale, with an ambition to save our clients $1 billion annually.

We started in London in 2013 with a simple belief: technology could make kitchens smarter and food systems more sustainable. Today that belief has grown into a global team spanning the UK, Romania, Dubai, Shanghai, Singapore, Malaysia, North America, and Mexico, working across 90+ countries and 3,500+ sites.

We're proud of the results we help our clients achieve. Names like IKEA, Hilton, Accor, Marriott, IHG, Compass Group, Iberostar, and Mandarin Oriental trust us to cut their food waste by over 50% on average — and when our technology is fully adopted, it reduces pre-consumer waste by 50–70% and delivers food cost savings of 2–8%.

We're building something that matters, and the people who thrive here feel that every day. We're proud to have been named one of The Sunday Times Best Places to Work and ranked #4 in the FoodTech 500 (2025) — recognition of both our innovation and our commitment to building a purpose-led company where people can make a real difference.

Our values

Our values aren't just words on a page. They sit at the centre of all that we do and shape our behaviours and the way we show up. If they resonate with you, we'd love to hear from you and for you to help us on our mission.

• People of action — done beats perfect. We move fast, learn faster
• Equal parts head and heart — we balance urgency with long-term thinking
• Hungry and humble — we're ambitious about our mission, not our egos
• Bravely honest — we say what we think, respectfully, with colleagues and customers alike
• Bound by food — it's what unites us, and it's what we're fighting for
• People and planet positive — we're leaving both better than we found them

About the team

Winnow's Operations team is our Customer Success function, owning the relationship between Winnow and its clients once they're live, driving account performance, client success, and the delivery of results that matter to both Winnow and our customers.
