Sales Development Representative

Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand

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 New Zealand, the journey promises to be exciting as you will be part of changing the conversation around food waste in New Zealand and establishing the Too Good To Go brand in the minds of customers and food businesses.

We’re growing fast: Our community of 122 million registered users and 249,000 active partners across 19 countries, have together already saved 463 million meals from going to waste - avoiding almost 1.251.000 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 a Sales Development Representative to join the Sales team at Too Good To Go in Auckland, New Zealand.

The Role:

Embark on a groundbreaking journey as one of the first Sales Development Representative for Too Good To Go’s inaugural launch in New Zealand. As a Sales Development Representative, you'll play a pivotal role in introducing Too Good To Go to local businesses and forging partnerships that support our mission. You'll be at the forefront of our expansion efforts, engaging with cafes, patisseries, groceries, and bakeries to showcase the benefits of joining our platform. 

Through proactive outreach via cold calling, email communication, and face-to-face meetings, you'll ignite enthusiasm for Too Good To Go within the New Zealand market and pave the way for impactful partnerships. You’ll also close inbound opportunities, focusing on conversion and providing stores with a great onboarding experience. 

The stores you sign up and support to make their initial Too Good To Go experience positive will continue their food-saving journey long into the future, meaning you will build your own personal legacy within the company and our mission.

This role will have a mix of in-office and field days to balance togetherness, work flexibility and great customer engagement.

  • Experience in a sales role, specifically outbound sales where you have pitched and closed opportunities over the phone and in person
  • Experience cold-calling, demonstrating the resilience and motivation to achieve high activity

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
