Junior Sales Executive

Posted on Wednesday, October 26, 2022

To solve one of our generation's largest problems, we need the world’s best talent.

Our vision is to enable a sustainable food system. Our technology is already enabling thousands of restaurants, wholesalers, and producers across 7 countries to operate waste-free and efficiently. Yet, this is a drop into the ocean. We just started. Our goal to connect the global food system is extremely ambitious and complex. A problem of this magnitude and complexity requires a massive scale and only the best people will be able to solve it. We are gathering the best people globally together in order to succeed in our mission. Are you in?

For us, it is always team-first. Teams in which everyone subordinates their individual success to the team's success will win against teams that don't. Can you put your ego aside?

We are looking for the hungry underdogs that will rather fail than not try. We look for humility because it makes us learn faster. And we look for people who understand that hard work is necessary and that shortcuts don’t exist. We are playing the long game and want to build a truly generational company.

Our mission requires us to be fast. We believe that urgency is a mindset. We look for people who act with speed in everything they do, yet never lose sight of the bigger picture.

Fun plays an important role. We want to succeed and celebrate when we do. It is important to us that our people form real bonds in and outside of work.

We have no small plans, we are assembling a championship team, with people that take real ownership of our company’s long-term success. If you feel this is for you, then deep inside you, you might be already one of us.

Meet your team

Our Operations organization is built to perform and equipped with the resources and people needed to win. Our regional team in London is no exception. We’re looking for ambitious Sales talent to help us expand our impact on the region even further. Known internally as the Buyer team you will report to our General Manager Alex Kiely and our Team Lead Eddy Josset - supported by a team of 17 people in the London office!

As a culture-first company, we believe in the power of in-person collaboration (and the fact that we enjoy spending time together), this is primarily an in-office position.

What you’ll do

We are seeking a hands-on Junior Sales Executive who wants to build their career in Sales and wants to support a great mission in scaling our Restaurant user base. This is a great opportunity where you can combine your drive for being in a fast-paced, highly-rewarded environment like sales, with an interest in building relationships.

  • Taking ownership of the sales funnel and the full sales cycle - from prospecting and qualifying to running demos, showcasing Choco's value, and ultimately ensuring successful onboarding.
  • Identify opportunities, converting leads to increase sales and revenue.
  • Engage with restaurants via inbound and outbound channels - cold calling, social media campaigns, and meetings.
  • Build and nurture a robust pipeline of restaurants and deliver accurate acquisition forecasts.
  • Maintain accurate data in our Salesforce CRM system.
  • Work collaboratively across different teams and share feedback with Operations, Vendor Management, and Product to be able to provide strategic input.

What we’re looking for

  • Passionate about Sales!
  • You could be a recent graduate or be very early in your Sales career with 1+ year experience in a Sales role and want to build a career in this field.
  • You want to be part of a high-performing environment - this role is very hands-on but equally rewarding.
  • You are motivated by being in a fast-paced / high-performing environment.
  • You have a genuine interest in the problem we are solving - you are adaptable, coachable and keen to learn and develop your sales skills.
  • Strong organisational skills with a solution-oriented, entrepreneurial mindset.
  • You take ownership and can drive great results.

Please note that we are now looking to grow our team from September 2023!
