Job description

Founded in 2007, Divert is a cleantech company providing customers with a clean and efficient solution to organic waste...and we’ve been at it ever since. In the U.S. 1 out of every 6 Americans is food insecure. Meanwhile, 1 out of every 7 trucks of fresh food delivered to a grocery store is either landfilled or recycled . This further results in a massive impact on the environment where 25% of all freshwater consumed, 21% of all US farmland utilized and 500 million barrels of oil are wasted. We are aggressively solving the food crisis. As the leading provider of unsold food solutions to major retailers in the U.S., Divert is positioned to fundamentally change the way unsold food is managed. Here’s how you can be a part of that change
