đź“‹ Description
- • Join Saltz, a revolutionary VC-backed startup poised to transform the culinary industry by creating the premier digital marketplace for high-quality, fresh ingredients. We are on a mission to dismantle the complex web of traditional distribution channels, eliminating hidden costs and fostering direct connections between passionate chefs and exceptional producers. Our platform empowers chefs to discover and source an unparalleled variety of ingredients, from local farms to international artisans, with complete transparency. For producers, Saltz unlocks immediate access to a global market, enabling an oyster farm, for instance, to connect with hundreds of restaurants across multiple countries overnight. This is the power of our innovative solution.
- • As a Field Sales Executive based in Budapest, you will be the driving force behind our growth in this vibrant culinary hub. Your primary role will be to engage directly with chefs and restaurant owners, introducing them to the Saltz marketplace and demonstrating how our platform can significantly simplify and enhance their procurement processes. This is a hands-on, field-based position where you will be the face of Saltz, building crucial relationships within the gastronomic community.
- • Your typical week will involve a dynamic schedule of approximately 10-15 in-person meetings with potential clients. You will be responsible for nurturing these leads from initial contact through to successful onboarding, ensuring a seamless and positive experience for every chef and owner you interact with. This requires proactive follow-up and a commitment to providing exceptional service, ensuring no potential partner is left without the support they need.
- • You will have the autonomy to plan your weekly schedule, balancing client visits, follow-ups, and administrative tasks. While you will be empowered to manage your own workflow, you will also receive guidance and support from our experienced team to help you achieve and exceed your sales targets. Your success will be measured by your ability to consistently meet and surpass key performance indicators, contributing directly to Saltz's expansion.
- • A core part of your role will be conducting engaging product demonstrations of the Saltz application. You will showcase, in the client's own environment, how our intuitive platform simplifies ordering, ensures reliability, and provides access to a wider range of quality ingredients than ever before. This requires a clear understanding of the application's features and benefits, and the ability to tailor your presentation to the specific needs of each restaurant.
- • To ensure effective collaboration and track your progress, you will diligently utilize our Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and other essential sales tools. Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records of your interactions, client information, and sales pipeline is crucial for the entire team to provide you with the best possible support and to inform our strategic decisions. Comprehensive training will be provided on all necessary tools and systems.
- • This role is ideal for individuals who possess a deep understanding of the fast-paced and demanding world of gastronomy. Whether you have prior experience running a kitchen, managing a busy bar, or excelling in a high-touch hospitality role like a concierge, your insights into the industry will be invaluable. We are also highly enthusiastic about welcoming career changers who can bring transferable skills and a fresh perspective to our team. Previous sales internships or customer-facing roles, even part-time, are considered a significant advantage.
- • You must be a highly motivated and energetic individual, comfortable and excited about spending your days out in the field. You should thrive on the prospect of walking into bustling kitchens, engaging with culinary professionals, and building strong, face-to-face relationships with chefs and managers. Your passion for food and the hospitality industry will be a key driver of your success.
- • Exceptional communication skills are paramount. You will need very good oral and written proficiency in both Hungarian and English to effectively communicate with a diverse range of clients and internal stakeholders. You should be comfortable taking the lead in conversations, demonstrating excellent active listening skills, identifying client needs and pain points, proposing effective solutions, and confidently guiding the conversation towards a successful deal closure.
- • This is an opportunity to be part of a fast-growing, ambitious startup with a clear vision to revolutionize the food supply chain. You will work alongside a team of mature, intelligent, and entrepreneurial individuals who are experts in their respective fields and deeply passionate about the industry. We foster a culture of trust, autonomy, and mutual support, ensuring you have the resources and encouragement needed to excel.
🎯 Requirements
- • Proven experience in a customer-facing role within the gastronomy or hospitality industry (e.g., chef, kitchen manager, bar manager, concierge), or a strong aptitude for sales and relationship building.
- • Excellent oral and written communication skills in both Hungarian and English.
- • Comfortable working independently in the field, managing your own schedule, and conducting in-person client meetings.
- • Ability to understand client needs, present solutions effectively, and close sales.
- • Self-motivated, results-oriented, and eager to learn and adapt in a fast-paced startup environment.
- • Bonus: Fluency in additional languages beyond Hungarian and English.
🏖️ Benefits
- • Competitive compensation package including a fair guaranteed salary and commission (OTE: 40,000 EUR gross per year).
- • Provision of necessary hardware to perform your role effectively.
- • Company card to cover commuting expenses (up to 400 EUR per month).
- • High degree of autonomy and trust to manage your own workflow and schedule.
- • Opportunity to work with and learn from a team of experienced, passionate, and entrepreneurial professionals in the food tech industry.
- • Be part of a fast-growing, VC-backed startup with a significant impact on the culinary world.
