Trail 

Trail is a task management app for retail and hospitality businesses. We bring UX and engineering expertise to an industry hungry for both. We help store managers and head office teams get their jobs done more easily. With Trail, stores spend less time on admin, and more time doing what counts - being with their customers.

​

Within our first year we’ve raised significant seed capital and signed companies such as Itsu and Enterprise Inns. With a second round of fundraising underway, and more high street restaurants set to join, we’re showing no signs of stopping.

​

How We Work 

Trail works with a modern stack and tools like Heroku, Codeship, AWS, Postgres, React, JIRA and Slack. We know that TDD, automated end-to-end testing, peer reviews, and an agile workflow result in awesome products and happy customers. We also like solving interesting problems like Multi-platform delivery, Third-party integrations, Highly performant UIs and data extraction & transformation.

​

We’re small - and want to stay that way! We want to build a small and talented team that remains nimble whilst solving the biggest problems the industry faces. A place everybody can shape.

​

Trail also offer remote working and flexible hours. We don’t need to see people every day to know they’re doing a great job.

​

Job Description

​

Trail makes it easier to run a good shop, restaurant or pub.

Our habits have been transformed by technology over the last 20 years. But the average day for waiters, chefs, cashiers and managers has barely changed. We’re changing that.

​

Trail is a complete guide to the working day, with simple, powerful tasks for the service industry. We’ve had a very successful first few years, raised enough money and signed huge brands like Wagamama, Leon, Brewdog, Bill's, Deliveroo, Gymbox and many more.

​

We’re remote-first with flexible, human working hours. There’s a London/Moorgate base that some of our 19 team work from, and everyone gathers a couple of times a month.

​

We’re small and want to stay that way. It’s a tight, talented team that remains nimble whilst solving the biggest problems the industry faces. A place everybody can shape.

​

>What’s the opportunity?

​

Trail’s commercial function has been driven using classic outbound sales techniques. We’re proud of what we’ve achieved and it’s producing the numbers, but we’re always challenging ourselves to find better ways of working.

​

The challenge is to optimize each activity that wins a customer. We want this to be a fixed process, repeatable at scale - an effective sales playbook with an amazing team to match.

​

We need a salesperson, but one who can understand the need for scale too. The product has the ability to be truly global, and we’ll need you to be part of the team that’s going to realise that opportunity and grow with it. We can’t wait to meet you.
