Job description
Too Good To Go is the world’s #1 app for fighting food waste. We work with thousands of restaurants and food retailers to make their surplus food available to local consumers.
The magic of Too Good To Go has been expanding rapidly across Europe and the US, with over 501 million meals saved across 19 countries to date. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved so far, but did we mention the issue is huge? We are expanding our team as we speak.
You’ll be at the forefront of our expansion in the area of Braga and surrounding cities, engaging with restaurants, cafes, convenience stores, florists hotels and bakeries who have shown interest in Too Good To Go, showcasing the benefits of joining our platform.
And that’s where you come in: We’re looking for an exceptional Sales Specialist to join the Portuguese superstar team at Too Good To Go 🚀
As a Sales Specialist (Area Sales), 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.
Through phone calls, meetings, emails and messaging, you’ll do cold outreach, you’ll onboard new partners and help them through their journey during their first month at Too Good To Go. Your focus will be cold outreach, doing outbound calls, meeting our partners face to face while signing new partnerships everyday!
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 be based in Braga or surrounding cities with a remote policy, travelling to Lisbon as needed.
Your role in a nutshell:
- Negotiation and persuasion: you will educate and empower stores that you have reached out to join us at Too Good To Go and fight food waste together.
- You will be an expert in converting and developing partnerships and will optimise new sales processes, sales coaching, data analysis and find synergies with other teams.
- Powerful communication: You will deliver the value of the Too Good To Go and our benefits to potential customers, establishing relationships and building strong rapport
- Effective selling: you will use customer service techniques to identify store needs and curate the best setup for them in cold calls and online and live meetings.
- Successfully onboard and train the stores and their employees to set them up for long term success in using our platform
- Follow up with the stores: you will keep the relationship with the store for 4 weeks to make sure they are fully set up to enable them to hit the ground running and maximise their impact.
This role is remote but you’ll be accountable for the north Portugal area - you’ll maintain a high volume of calls and communication with stores, meet with them live or online and focus on achieving monthly sales targets.
You will be a great fit, if :
- You have experience working within a sales environment, particularly with phone-based sales over the phone (cold calling), and field meetings.
- You’re a fantastic speaker (and importantly, listener) with the ability to quickly connect and establish a relationship with potential partners - bakeries, restaurants, cafes and more
- You have zero fear of the phone and the tenacity to keep trying when things get tough
- You’re rigorous, resourceful 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 autonomous : 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
We recognize 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 and in person.
- Experience cold-calling, demonstrating the resilience and motivation to achieve high call volumes, ie: call centers, recruitment environments, etc.
- Experience in managing extensive pipelines and a deep understanding of sales process flows to drive significant revenue growth. Having worked with Salesforce is a plus, but any experience using a CRM tool will be useful.
Our values
- We Win Together
- We Raise the Bar
- We Keep It Simple
- We Build A Legacy
- We Care

- Personal and professional development opportunities in a fast-paced scale-up environment.
- An inclusive company culture where you can bring your authentic self to work
