At Too Good To Go, we have an ambitious mission: to inspire and empower everyone to fight food waste together.

More than 1/3 of all food produced in the world is wasted. And that has a huge impact on the health of our planet. 10% of greenhouse gas emissions come from food waste and loss.

Through our marketplace app, we connect businesses that have unsold, surplus food, with consumers who can buy and enjoy it at ⅓ of retail value. We are a certified B Corporation with a mission to empower everyone to take action against food waste. Alongside our marketplace app, we create educational tools, explore new business solutions, and influence legislation to help reduce food waste.

In this role, you will make a direct, positive contribution to our mission every day. As part of the launch team in Australia, the journey promises to be exciting as you will be part of changing the conversation around food waste in Australia and establishing the Too Good To Go brand in the minds of customers and food businesses.

We’re growing fast: Our community of 103 million registered users and 237,000 active partners across 18 countries, have together already saved 373 million meals from going to waste - avoiding almost 1009,000 tonnes of CO2e!

In 2023, Too Good To Go was recognised on Fortune's acclaimed 'Change the World' list, named as one of Deloitte's 'Best Managed Companies' and won a coveted 'Cultural Impact Award' at the annual Apple App Store Awards.

We’re looking for an Inside Sales Representative to join the Sales team at Too Good To Go in Melbourne.

Your mission

As an Inside Sales Representative, you are in charge of turning interest into passion: contact all stores as fast as possible and sell Too Good To Go to turn everyone into an ambassador! You are responsible for sharing our values with all new partners: first impressions count.

You'll be at the forefront of our expansion efforts across Australia, engaging with restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, and bakeries who have shown interest in Too Good To Go, showcasing the benefits of joining our platform.

Through phone calls, emails and other messaging, you'll help support inbound stores in completing their sign up, going love on the platform and paving the way for impactful partnerships.

Your focus will be on closing inbound sales and when the business need arises, you will also conduct outbound calls.

• You have zero fear of the phone and the tenacity to keep trying when things get tough
• You’re rigorous and organised: you prioritise well and keep track of your pipeline
• You’re data-driven, have experience working with a CRM and have basic knowledge of Excel.
• You’re independent: you know how to schedule your time to help you juggle multiple projects
• You’re a team player and know how to create synergy with other areas of the business to help fight food waste together
• You have full Australian working rights (no working holiday visas)
• Outside of the visa, if you don’t meet 100% of the qualifications outlined above, tell us why you’d still be a great fit for this role in your cover letter!

We recognise that every individual has a unique background that brings value, so we don’t require the following specific experience, but it would be nice if you have:

• Experience in a sales role, where you have pitched and closed opportunities over the phone
• Experience cold-calling, demonstrating the resilience and motivation to achieve high call volumes
• Experience managing your own sales pipeline and prioritising data based on insights. Having worked with Salesforce is a plus, but any experience using a CRM tool will be useful.
