Are you ready for your first or second step in your sales career? Do you want to learn, grow, and make a positive impact at the same time? Then this is your chance…

We're working with a popular Sustainable Food Marketplace, looking for driven and motivated individuals looking for a career in sales.

At this company, you’ll work on something that truly matters: together with local business owners and millions of app users, they help fight food waste. We’re looking for new Sales Waste Warriors with lots of energy and curiosity – people who genuinely want to build something meaningful.

Your Mission:

As a Sales Executive, you play a key role in the mission. You’ll ensure local businesses – from bakeries to neighbourhood shops - join the platform. This allows them to offer unsold food to consumers via the app.

A Typical Day Might Look Like This:

• Connect with 40–60 business owners each day to champion the mission of fighting food waste through our sustainable marketplace.
• Guide new partners through their first 28 days, ensuring a smooth and successful launch on the platform.
• Lead seamless onboarding experiences, helping partners launch Surprise Bags and unlock the platform’s full potential.
• Be the trusted first point of contact, leaving a lasting, positive impression that sets the tone for a strong partnership.
• Keep your pipeline sharp - track outreach, progress, and milestones with precision and energy.
• Collaborate with a driven team to innovate new ideas, share wins, and continuously improve how we support our partners.

Who Are We Looking For?

• Someone who is confident and engaging, can build rapport easily with potential partners (like local shops, bakeries, butchers, etc.)
• Someone who is proactive in researching and calling new leads, shows perseverance and resilience when things get tough and isn't afraid of cold calling.
• Someone who's organised, independent, and communicates openly with the team – collaboration is everything!
• Someone who's curious and eager to learn, grow, and commit long-term to a mission-driven company.

What You Bring:

• Strong drive and determination to achieve results.
• Energy, motivation, and resilience to make an impact – you’re no quitter!
• Strong organisational and planning skills.
• You thrive in a fast-changing environment.
• Bonus points if you already have experience in cold calling or phone-based customer contact.

What We Offer:

• Base salary: 31-33k (with up to 25% performance related bonus)
• Enjoy hybrid working from our great offices, at home, or abroad
• Health insurance, pension scheme.
• Regular social events like summer and winter parties
• Coffee, snacks, and fully-equipped kitchens
• Get to know our community with a monthly free Surprise Bag
• Paid volunteer time through our Shareback volunteering programme
• Employee resource groups
• 25 days of annual leave, in addition to UK Bank Holidays
• Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve off as well
• Cycle to Work scheme
