Company mission
To rapidly assess the environmental and social impact of every ingredient in your product formulations to make more sustainable supply system decisions.
Role
Who you are
- Does showing a food service provider how they could save 250 thousand metric tonnes of carbon (just by modifying a few ingredients) interest you?
- Are you sick of ‘selling data’ but love sales and want to do something more meaningful?
- Do you believe our food system is broken? Want to help companies make better choices to lower impact?
- If you’re an experienced SaaS seller who answered YES to the above questions, then we would like to talk to you!
- HowGood is seeking an enthusiastic, experienced and tenacious SaaS Sales Contractor to drive growth of Latis, our sustainability intelligence platform
- You must be passionate about creating a positive impact in the world, and excited to learn about agriculture, sustainability, and transforming the global food system. We hope to see this passion for sustainability reflected in your educational or professional background
- Recent experience calling on CPG, retail, ingredient suppliers and food service clients
- You’re a natural at sales presentations to prospects at all levels. You spend the time researching a prospect and will effectively convey how the HowGood platform can deliver value in terms of sales lift, carbon emission reduction and improvements in ESG goals
- You know how to generate your own leads through networking and prospecting, including cold calling, as well as leveraging the Marketing and PR activities of HowGood
- You’ve had at least 5 years experience in SaaS sales and know how to rock a quota, closing $100k+ deals with a track record of exceeding quota
Desirable
- Thought-leadership (and public speaking) in agriculture, sustainability, product development, supply systems, innovation, transparency, biodiversity, labor risk, or nutrition
- Capacity for big-picture strategic thinking and customer-oriented innovation
- Experience prospecting; you will be responsible for sourcing most of your own leads
- Identify trends within the market and help be a changemaker. Relay ideas back to the sales and product teams to further inform product roadmap
What the job involves
- Your focus will be on identifying and signing new clients to the Latis platform. Experience selling a SaaS is critical, as is an interest (or previous experience) in food sustainability
- Meeting or exceeding sales quotas and pipeline generation goals
- Enhanced connectivity between HowGood customers, generating a network effect of sustainability transformation across the world’s food & agriculture system
- Predictable revenue and accurate forecasting
- A sense of accomplishment that you’ve made an impact on improving the earth’s food supply
Application process
- Please submit a resume and cover letter
- Applications without a cover letter will not be reviewed - part of the role is effective email communication, so a cover letter allows us to get a sense of your personal style
Our take
Born from a dearth of data on sustainable food, HowGood offers a platform with the world’s largest database on food and personal care sustainability. Drawing from over 550 different data sources to assess over 33,000 different ingredients, chemicals and materials, HowGood provides brands and retailers with the information to improve their environmental and social impact.
Since its fruition in 2006, we have only become more environmentally conscious. HowGood has grown up with the demand; its sustainability intelligence guides brands towards meeting their sustainability goals, created due to pressure from customers. Whilst HowGood’s client list, including Chipotle and Kraft Heinz, speaks to its central and trusty position within a shifting industry.
Its influence is set to grow further, with the reality that more than 70% of shoppers are more willing to pay more for sustainable products coupled with the strategic investment of its funding, which has gone towards expanding industry partnerships and developing HowGood’s intelligence platform, Latis.
