Full Job Description

📋 Description

• Are you passionate about food and eager to make a tangible impact in the vibrant culinary scene? Saltz is seeking an ambitious and driven Junior Sales Manager to spearhead the expansion of our revolutionary digital marketplace in your city. This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-growing, VC-backed startup that is fundamentally changing how chefs source the finest ingredients and how producers reach a global audience. If you have a deep appreciation for gastronomy, possess a tenacious spirit, and are excited by the prospect of building relationships and driving growth, we want to hear from you.
• At Saltz, we are on a mission to eliminate the complexities and hidden costs that have long plagued the food supply chain. Our platform acts as a direct bridge between passionate chefs and exceptional producers, fostering transparency, quality, and creativity. Imagine an oyster farm gaining immediate access to hundreds of restaurants across multiple countries, or a chef discovering unique, artisanal ingredients previously out of reach. This is the reality we are creating, and as a Junior Sales Manager, you will be at the forefront of bringing this vision to life in your local market.
• Your primary responsibility will be to own and drive the growth of Saltz.App within your designated city. This involves proactively identifying and engaging with new venues, from cozy neighborhood bistros to high-end Michelin-starred establishments. You will be the face of Saltz, meeting with chefs, restaurant owners, and managers to understand their sourcing challenges and demonstrate how our innovative app can streamline their operations and elevate their culinary offerings. We believe in empowering our team, and while we provide comprehensive training and ongoing support, we also offer the autonomy to manage your own schedule and drive your own success.
• Your day-to-day activities will be dynamic and engaging. You'll spend significant time out in the field, immersed in the fast-paced world of restaurants and kitchens. Your mission is to connect with culinary professionals, introduce them to the Saltz marketplace, and showcase how our platform simplifies the ordering process, ensures reliability, and provides access to an unparalleled variety of fresh, high-quality ingredients. You will be expected to manage approximately 10-15 meetings per week, diligently following up with prospects to nurture relationships and convert them into active users. Strategic planning will be a key component of your role; you'll be responsible for organizing your weekly schedule, setting priorities, and working collaboratively with your team to achieve and surpass ambitious targets.
• A crucial part of your role will involve conducting live demonstrations of the Saltz application. You will showcase its user-friendly interface, intuitive features, and the significant benefits it offers for ingredient sourcing. You'll learn to leverage our CRM system and other essential tools to meticulously track your progress, manage your pipeline, and ensure that every interaction is logged, allowing the wider team to provide seamless support. This role requires a proactive, results-oriented individual who thrives on building connections and is motivated by the opportunity to contribute to a rapidly scaling business. We are looking for someone with a genuine passion for gastronomy, a strong work ethic, and the resilience to navigate the challenges and rewards of a sales-focused position in a dynamic industry.
• This is more than just a sales job; it's an opportunity to become an integral part of a company that values innovation, quality, and direct connection. You will be instrumental in shaping the future of food sourcing, empowering chefs, and supporting producers. If you are ready to take ownership, build meaningful relationships, and grow your career in a supportive and entrepreneurial environment, we encourage you to apply.

🎯 Requirements

• Proven experience in a customer-facing role, ideally within the gastronomy or hospitality sector (e.g., kitchen management, bar management, concierge, or sales internships).
• Demonstrated ability to build rapport and establish strong relationships with diverse stakeholders, particularly chefs and restaurant managers.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to articulate value propositions clearly and persuasively, and a knack for problem-solving.
• High degree of self-motivation, organization, and a proactive approach to managing your schedule and achieving targets.
• Fluency in both spoken and written German 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.
• A monthly company card allowance of 400 EUR to cover commuting expenses.
• Significant autonomy and trust to manage your own workflow and decision-making.
• Opportunity to work alongside and be mentored by experienced, passionate, and entrepreneurial professionals in the food industry.
