Company Description
500+ businesses - from teams of 10 up to 2,000 - use Seedling to meet the expectations of their customers and employees to tackle climate change, in a way that's:
* ✅ Straightforward & streamlined for busy teams
* ✅ Accurate, impactful, backed by data & climate science
Hybrid – ~3 days/week in Bath (flexible)
We’re hiring a high-agency early-career Growth Associate to work directly with the founders. This is a hands‑on role where you’ll shadow founder‑led sales, keep our content/SEO engine running at a consistent baseline, and gradually grow into a customer‑facing sales role over time. Your mission will be to help Seedling scale its go‑to‑market and generate / convert more leads.
Core Responsibilities
This is a varied role spanning all areas of our growth engine – from lead generation to deal closing. The core of the role is supporting our founder Aimée who leads sales and marketing – in time you will move towards a dedicated sales role. At the same time, you’ll be responsible for managing the content we publish on the website to support our SEO and GEO work, and support with marketing and general GTM projects as needed.
* Work directly day-to-day with the co-founder leading sales (Aimée):
o Research leads and prospects to inform sales strategy
o Build pitch decks and configure platform demos
o Ensure follow‑up sequences run smoothly post‑demo
o Handle contracts and onboarding coordination
o Manage CRM hygiene
o Support with outbound execution (LinkedIn / email)
* As you learn, take on a sales role:
o Join customer sales conversations to learn process
o Train by taking simple, lower value demos
o Over time, move more towards a dedicated sales role
* Own the website content pipeline end-to-end
* Coordinate with freelancers / agencies
* Maintain internal linking and updates
* Coordinate with marketing to repurpose content (LinkedIn)
* Track performance and surface insights
* Support the marketing team (e.g. LinkedIn content, webinar prep)
Skills & Experience
We care more about raw intelligence, drive, adaptability and potential than experience.
* Must haves:
o Excellent academics (1st / 2:1 and very strong A levels)
o High agency – you take ownership without waiting to be told
o Exceptional written and verbal communication
o Excellent organisation and attention to detail
o Comfort with ambiguity and rapid change
o Comfortable using software / AI tools
* Nice to haves:
o Exposure to startups, sales, or marketing
o Experience with content creation or research
o Familiarity with CRMs
o Experience coordinating projects or people
You’ll thrive in this role if:
* You’re conscientious, self‑motivated, proactive, have tonnes of initiative, hold yourself to high standards, and are very comfortable working independently
* You have an entrepreneurial mindset – you love to think strategically, but also to get stuck in and execute
* You want to join a young, high‑energy team having fun building something exceptional
* You want to understand the full picture of growing a startup, not just be a cog in the wheel
* You’ll get excited talking about new ideas, GTM strategies, and business growth (e.g. over a post‑work drink)
This role won’t suit you if (important):
* You’re looking for steady, structured career‑path progression in a larger team
* You prefer clearly defined tasks and day‑to‑day certainty over open‑ended problem solving. If priorities change, this would stress you out – you don’t like unpredictability
* You like being managed closely, and prefer to execute on someone else’s plan
* You’re not comfortable taking risks or doing something new that you’re not sure will work
* You prefer a corporate atmosphere
Why this role?
* A meaningful role –you’re doing work that matters by tackling climate change
* Huge learning opportunity: you’ll work closely with the founders, get visibility across the business, and have space to try things, test ideas, and grow
* Not siloed: you’ll be involved across the whole business
* A fast‑paced, high‑trust environment that values learning, initiative and momentum
* Fun, close‑knit team culture
* Opt out pension 3% employer / 5% employee
* Office in central Bath – Queen Square
* Private health through Vitality
* Perks: weekly drinks, monthly meals, merch, other good stuff!
