About the Role

We're looking for a highly driven Sales Associate to join our team. You’ll be at the heart of our growth engine - managing the end-to-end sales cycle, directly driving our business and revenue growth by bringing in new customers. But this isn’t just about closing deals. You’ll also help us sell smarter by refining our tools, streamlining processes, and using data to shape how we scale.

In this role, you’ll blend deep sales expertise with product knowledge to solve complex business problems for our customers. You will act as the commercial champion for the customer, working collaboratively with internal departments to ensure we are not just winning business, but building long-term value and market share. We’re seeking someone who thrives on exceeding ambitious targets and building robust, repeatable sales success.

What You’ll Do

• Drive the full sales cycle: Own opportunities end-to-end, from qualified lead to activation, with a focus on efficiency and impact.

  • Lead smart discovery: Conduct structured discovery calls to identify prospect's key organisational goals, pain points, current tech stack, and decision-making criteria.

  • Run engaging demos: Deliver standard and tailored product demos to qualified prospects, clearly articulating Tebi’s core product features and positioning the added business value (ROI)

  • Negotiate with confidence: Execute commercial negotiation steps, utilising approved pricing frameworks.

• Lead deep commercial and technical discovery, structurally diagnosing prospect pain points, technical fit, and business structure to validate and refine high-quality opportunities.

• Manage and enforce CRM data hygiene (e.g., Hubspot), ensuring accurate tracking of all sales activities, deal stages, and forecasting inputs.

• Contribute to sales funnel optimisation by collaborating with the BDR team to provide actionable feedback on lead quality and conversion effectiveness.

• Standardise the post-sale handoff process with the Customer Success team to guarantee a seamless transition and maximise early customer adoption and satisfaction.

• Systematically gather, analyse, and synthesise competitive intelligence and field-level product feedback, channeling insights to inform strategic roadmaps for the Product, Marketing and Central Ops teams.

What You’ll Need

• A minimum of 3 years of experience in Sales, Account Management, or Customer Success, ideally in the SaaS/tech industry.

• Bachelor's degree in business, finance, engineering, or a related field (or equivalent work experience) is a strong plus.

• Willingness to roll up your sleeves and “Leave your ego at the door” mentality

• Self-motivated with the ability to work independently and as part of a team in a fast-paced startup environment.

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to effectively engage with customers and internal stakeholders.

• Entrepreneurial mindset: you thrive in fast-moving environments, love building from scratch, and bias toward action.

Benefits:

• Start-up Equity

• Competitive Salary

• Lunch Provided in Office

• Team building events

What is Restaurant Software?

Restaurants and other merchants use various software systems such as Point of Sale (POS), Reservations, Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), Payments, Inventory, Staffing, and the list goes on. These systems all need to speak to each other which they frequently don’t. It’s a mess, and we are fixing it.
