Director of Business Development-Cafeteria Replacement

Fooda
Chicago, IL
Who We Are
Fooda’s story began in 2011 when a group of office workers at a major logistics company in Chicago had a lunch problem. Nearby options were limited, and the team was spending too much time and money traveling to their favorite restaurants. They had an idea: bring Chicago’s local restaurant culture inside the office to sell food. It was an immediate hit. When they discovered people from other companies sneaking into their office, they knew they were on to something.
Fooda pioneered the concept of rotating popup restaurants inside offices. Today, we operate in more than 45 cities with over 100 million meals served and continue to grow rapidly.
Powered by proprietary technology and a network of 2,500+ restaurants, we feed hungry people at work through a platform of unique food programs located within companies, office buildings, hospitals, schools, distribution centers, and more. At Fooda, we believe a workplace food program should be something employees love and look forward to every day. About Orange by Fooda

Who You Are
  • 5+ years of successful enterprise sales experience with documented quota attainment
  • Experience selling food services, workplace services, or hospitality solutions
  • Must be a self-starter with the ability to generate your own opportunities through prospecting and outbound outreach
  • Possess excellent communication and presentation skills with a proven record of building strong client relationships
  • Demonstrated leadership experience in a team-based environment
  • Proven ability to think and act both strategically and tactically
  • Strong technical and writing skills related to RFP responses, proposals, and executive-level presentations
  • Strong desire for customer satisfaction and long-term client success
What We’ll Hook You Up With
  • Competitive base salary, bonus plan, and stock options, based on experience
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company match
  • Paid maternity and parental leave benefits
  • Flexible spending accounts
  • Company-issued laptop
  • Fully integrated sales tech stack: HubSpot, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn, and SDR support for outbound activity
  • Daily subsidized lunch program (ours!)
Must be authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis. No phone calls or recruiters, please.
