Growth Associate in Bath

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.
• 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):

• Research leads and prospects to inform sales strategy
• Build pitch decks and configure platform demos
• Ensure follow‐up sequences run smoothly post‐demo
• Handle contracts and onboarding coordination
• Manage CRM hygiene
• Support with outbound execution (LinkedIn / email)

• Join customer sales conversations to learn process
• Train by taking simple, lower value demos
• Over time, move more towards a dedicated sales role

Skills & Experience

We care more about raw intelligence, drive, adaptability and potential than experience.

Must haves:

• Excellent academics (1st / 2:1 and very strong A levels)
• High agency – you take ownership without waiting to be told
• Exceptional written and verbal communication
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail
• Comfort with ambiguity and rapid change
• Comfortable using software / AI tools

Nice to haves:

• Exposure to startups, sales, or marketing
• Experience with content creation or research
• Familiarity with CRMs
• 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!
