Catering and Sales Specialist

Catering and Sales Specialist (Cold Sales and Community Relationship Builder)

Benefits: Mileage reimbursement, free uniforms, bonus based on performance, employee discounts.

Part-time | Flexible schedule | Los Angeles (serving four Nothing Bundt Cakes locations)

If the idea of walking into 10 offices a day sounds exhausting, this is not your job. If it sounds like a game you can win, keep reading.

You know the drill: cold outreach, awkward drop-ins, chasing quotas that feel disconnected from real value. You can do it, you have done it, and you are good at it. But you want more than commissions and dashboards. You want:

• More face-to-face time and less screen time
• A product that actually makes people smile
• A flexible schedule that fits real life
• A role where relationships matter and you are treated like a human
• A community where people are genuinely happy to see you walk in

That is exactly what this role is.

The Mission

At Nothing Bundt Cakes, our mission is simple: Celebrate every date, not just the holidays. To make bad days better and good days great. To make happier happen again, and again. We're on a mission to make the world a sweeter place.

We are hiring a Catering and Sales Specialist, internally referred to as a Joy Genie: an outgoing, relationship-driven outside sales pro who brings "Bites of Joy" cake samples into local businesses, schools, government agencies, and community organizations - and turns those visits into recurring monthly orders. This is not a sit-behind-a-phone sales job. This is a walk in, light up the room, build trust, and create repeat business role.

The Story You Are Stepping Into

Local offices and organizations want easy ways to celebrate: birthdays, employee appreciation, team milestones, client gifting, holidays, onboarding and farewells. But they do not have time to plan it. Vendors are forgettable. Options are generic.

Your job is to become the person they call every month. You are not "dropping off cake." You are creating a celebration system they can count on.

What Winning Looks Like

You build a book of business that produces recurring monthly orders from:

• offices and corporate teams
• schools and PTAs
• city and county departments
• healthcare offices
• real estate and mortgage teams
• local service businesses with lots of staff and lots of celebrations

Over time, you become the recognizable face people love: the "cake celebrity" who brings joy and makes everyone's day better.

Your Role (How You Create Results)

You will:

• Prospect in the field: identify and visit target organizations within assigned areas
• Deliver "Bites of Joy" samples to spark conversations and create immediate goodwill
• Collect orders for future delivery (individual and office orders)
• Set up recurring programs (monthly Bundtini/Bundtlet drops, celebration calendars, standing orders)
• Develop strategic partnerships (HR managers, office admins, principals, executive assistants, community leaders)
• Identify big moments: holidays, client gifts, employee appreciation, onboarding, seasonal celebrations
• Track relationships and follow-up: consistent touchpoints that turn first orders into habitual ones
• Represent the brand in the community with warmth, professionalism, and integrity

This Job Is Perfect For You If

You are:

• An experienced outside sales person who is comfortable initiating relationships from scratch
• The kind of person who can walk into an office cold and leave with smiles, contacts, and momentum
• Self-directed and organized: you do not need constant supervision to perform
• Excited by relationship-based selling and long-term accounts
• Energized by being out in the world, meeting people, and being known locally
• Proud to represent something that genuinely improves someone's day

This Job Is Not For You If

Please do not apply if:

• You need warm leads handed to you
• You dislike cold visits or being told "no"
• You cannot manage your time without strict structure
• You prefer phone-only or screen-only sales
• You want a transactional, one-and-done sales role (this is built on follow-up and consistency)

Our Core Values (How We Show Up)

We hire and promote based on these values:

• Servant's Heart: we give more than is asked
• Genuine Connections: we draw connections with warmth and energy
• Spirit of a Champion: we have a passion to win
• Humble: confidence without ego
• Hungry: self-motivated, proactive, driven
• Socially Smart: emotionally aware, professional, and people-first

If those values sound like you, you will thrive here.

Why You Will Love This Role

You will get:

• Part-time hours
• Flexible scheduling (ideal for parents and anyone building life around work, not the other way around)
• A product people love: you will never feel like you are pushing something questionable
• A brand that makes you instantly welcome: cake is a conversation starter everywhere
• Real pride in your work: you are helping local teams celebrate and connect
• A chance to make a meaningful impact on a growing small business in Los Angeles

What We Expect (Non-Negotiables)

You have:

• Proven outside sales or community relationship experience
• Reliable transportation and willingness to be on the move daily
• Comfort carrying samples and walking into offices and organizations
• Strong communication and follow-up habits
• A warm, professional presence that builds trust quickly

Compensation will be $30.00-$32.00/hr, based on experience.

How to Apply

Submit your resume and a cover letter answering these 3 questions:

• What is your outside sales experience and what did you sell?
• Why does this role excite you more than your current sales job?
• Tell us about a time you turned a cold introduction into repeat business. What was your approach?

If you are the right fit, you will be invited to an interview and may be asked to do a short "field scenario" (how you would approach a target office and convert it into a recurring monthly order).

Compensation: $30.00 - $32.00 per hour

We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
