We’re looking for a 6 Business Development Representative to join the Sales team based in Austin (Hybrid) on April 6th.

Sign up restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, bakeries, and other food retailers

In this role, you are the first point of contact for the store and will be responsible for the full sales cycle. Going through a list of leads we provide you, you will make a minimum of 100 calls per day through direct business development - the rest of the job is about onboarding stores and ensuring a good pipeline management of leads for the business. 

In short, you will:

• Cold call new prospects, min. 100 calls a day to introduce and sell the value of Too Good To Go to them
• Take the stores through the signup process (which can take anywhere from 30 minutes to a few hours)
• Be responsible for the store the first 28 days of the partner journey, helping new stores use our marketplace app and other tools, ensuring they are fully informed and on boarded as a Too Good To Go partner and completing the post-sales process
• Maintain and organise a solid pipeline of opportunities through Salesforce based on the monthly leads you are given
• Join weekly meetings with the Growth team to ensure smooth transition after the 28 days and ensure that they are aware of stores ready to be handed over

Eager to learn and don’t take no for an answer?

Did you know?

More than 40% of all food produced in the world is wasted (WWF, 2021). And that has a huge impact on the health of our planet. In fact, 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste and loss alone (WWF, 2024). That’s almost five times the total emissions from the aviation sector (UNEP, 2024).

We’re growing fast: Our community of over 133+ million registered users and 261,000+ active partners across 21 countries, have together already saved 517+ million meals from going to waste - avoiding over 1,397,000 tonnes of CO2e!
