About Nearly Naked Veg
We're an online greengrocer. Until now we've shipped next day from HQ in Plymouth.
We're introducing a new model. Instead of shipping everything ourselves, we're building a nationwide network of independent greengrocers who pick and pack local orders and get them to the customer the same day.
The technology is already built and live. We're integrated with a same-day delivery partner, and we've built a web portal our partners use to receive and fulfil orders. What we need now is the network.
The Role
Your job is to build that network; finding independent greengrocers across the UK and signing them up as fulfilment partners.
Day to day, that looks like:
- Researching and building lists of independent greengrocers, market traders and produce wholesalers
- Making outbound calls to owners and managers to introduce the opportunity
- Following up with clear, professional emails that actually get replied to
- Walking interested partners through how the portal works and what's involved
- Keeping everything accurately logged in our CRM so nothing slips through the cracks
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We're Looking For
- You're comfortable making outbound phone calls to people you've never spoken to, and you don't take a "no thanks" personally
- You write clearly and professionally. A follow-up email from you should read as if it came from a real person who paid attention on the call (not written by AI)
- You're organised enough to work remotely without someone standing over you
- You're curious about how small businesses work and can hold a conversation with a shop owner who's busy and slightly sceptical
- You can get to Stamford for your initial training and occasional team days
Nice to Have (but genuinely not essential)
- Any experience with a CRM - Salesforce, Zoho, HubSpot, Pipedrive, anything. Ours is in-house and works on the same principles, so you'll pick it up quickly
- Any exposure to Shopify or ecommerce
- Any previous phone-based role; retail, hospitality, customer service, charity fundraising, recruitment.

If you've never done a sales job in your life but you're a confident communicator who wants to learn, please still apply. We'd rather train the right person than hire the wrong experienced one.
The Package
- £12.71 per hour (approx. £24,800 full-time equivalent) for the first 3 months (Open to freelancers/contractors/self-employed, but no agencies)
- Equipment provided (Laptop and phone)
- Uncapped commission on every partner you sign and onboard, from day one
- Full basic salary review at 3 months, based on how you're getting on
- Fully remote after initial training
- Full training on our product, our CRM and how to run outbound properly
- Genuine progression; you'd be the first hire into this function, and we intend to build a team around it
How to Apply
Send us your CV and a short covering note. We're not looking for a formal cover letter; a few honest paragraphs telling us why you fancy this and what makes you good on the phone or over email will tell us far more.
We review applications as they come in and aim to respond to everyone within a week.
