Base Salary: £28,000 – £35,000 per year

About the Role:

We're on a mission to fight food waste — and we need a Sales Executive in London to help us grow our network of local food businesses. From bakeries and cafés to restaurants and corner shops, you’ll be reaching out, building relationships, and signing them up to our platform so they can turn their surplus food into something good.

This is a hands-on, fast-paced sales role that mixes phone calls, emails, and in-person visits. You’ll be the first point of contact for new partners, showing them how it works and helping them start saving food (and money) right away.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Find and contact local food businesses (cafés, takeaways, shops, restaurants) that could benefit from reducing their food waste
• Make high-volume outreach calls and send emails to book meetings and introduce our platform
• Visit new partners in person, explain the benefits clearly, and get them excited about joining
• Train new partners on how to use the app and support them through the onboarding process
• Manage your pipeline, track your progress, and work towards clear monthly targets
• Work closely with the rest of the sales team to share insights, ideas, and success stories

What We're Looking For:

You don’t need a long sales background — we’re more interested in your attitude, drive, and ability to connect with people. You’ll need to be confident picking up the phone, happy to knock on doors, and motivated by hitting targets.

Here’s what will help you succeed:

• Comfortable with cold calling and confident speaking to new people
• Great at explaining things simply and getting others excited about new ideas
• Resilient — you keep going, even when it’s tough
• Good at managing your time and staying organised
• Naturally positive, energetic, and curious
• Motivated by doing meaningful work and being part of a mission-driven company
• Previous experience in sales, retail, hospitality, or customer service is a plus — but not essential

Soft Skills

• communication
• relationship building
• resilience
• time management
• positivity

Hard Skills

• cold calling
• CRM management
• onboarding training

Why Join Us:

We’re not just another app. We’re a certified B Corp on a mission to make a difference — and you’ll be on the front lines of that mission, helping real people and businesses reduce waste every day.

You’ll also get:

• A competitive base salary + performance bonus
• 25 days holiday + UK bank holidays
• Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve off
• Private health insurance
• Pension contributions
• Hybrid working – from home, office, or occasionally out and about
• Monthly Surprise Bag (yes, really – free food!)
• A fun, inclusive team that genuinely cares about what we do

What to Expect in the Hiring Process:

• One-way video interview (short and snappy – we just want to get to know you)
• Call with Talent Team
• Interview with the Sales Team (includes a short role play – nothing scary!)
• Final chat with our Head of Sales

Our goal is to build a diverse, inclusive team where everyone feels they belong. So if you're excited about this role but don't tick every single box — go ahead and apply. We care more about your potential than your CV.
