Sales Team Leader

"We're looking for someone who's up excited to become a key player in our growing business!"

About us:

At Honestly Tasty we’re creating the next generation of plant-based cheese – they’re so tasty they (almost) sell themselves. We’ve been operating for almost 3 and a half years, and are now in Planet Organic, Selfridges, and TheVeganKind. With a significant (and growing!) pipeline of new products and stockists, we’re setting our sights on (cheesy) world domination.

This is a super exciting time for us, and we’re building a sales team to help propel us to the next level, which is hopefully where you come in.

About you:

We’re looking for someone who gets excited by the prospect of making a real impact as part of a small team. Over the next couple of years, we want to become the go-to brand for great tasting plant-based cheese. To do that in this rapidly growing sector, we need a team of people who share our vision and want to build their careers by playing a pivotal role in creating a company that together we make into a household name.

We need someone who will thrive in a start-up environment and who can lead a small sales team, being responsible for managing 2-3 people as well as maintaining and growing a portfolio of our independent business customers (shops, delis, restaurants, pubs, etc.) across the UK.

The ideal candidate will be a driven motivator, have great attention to detail, and importantly – loves a challenge and building relationships with Customers. Communication skills are key, and confidence – for the most part, your team will create the first interaction that potential stockists have with our brand, so you’ll be leading our brand ambassadors – championing and selling what we believe in.

The role is focussed on growing our network of happy customers and ensuring a fantastic experience for our existing customers.

Ideally you will…

• Have 2+ years experience in sales & account management
• Have experience of line management responsibilities
• Be self-motivated and organised
• Be excited about our products
• Have strong interpersonal skills
• Have excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Be confident with telephone and email etiquette
• Have the flexibility to thrive in a start-up environment
• Not required but experience using Hubspot would be helpful

Your responsibilities…

• Manage a team of 2-3 people
• Build great relationships with Customers ensuring high levels of retention and revenue growth
• Take ownership and responsibility of your team’s sale targets
• Grow the portfolio of Customers
• Ensure orders are correctly recorded and tracked
• Co-ordinate with marketing on promotional activities
• Communicate Customer feedback to the team

What we value…

At Honestly Tasty we want to build a company of people committed to bringing great tasting, innovative plant-based cheese to the masses, and providing superb customer experience – whilst reducing the impact we have on the planet!
