About Fresho

Fresho is a fast growing tech scale-up on a mission to transform the food industry for the benefit of people and the planet.

Our order management software is revolutionising the way the entire industry operates - from day to day operations, to mental health and wellbeing, to food waste reduction - the impact of Fresho touches every aspect of the sector in a hugely positive way making it more efficient, enjoyable, profitable and sustainable.

We work closely with wholesale fresh food suppliers and 45,000 restaurants, cafes, hotels and other foodservice venues.

Fundamental to our culture is the belief that our people are everything. We are purposefully building our culture alongside our business to make Fresho a fun, positive and inclusive place to work for our dynamic team of Freshonauts.

Fresho has raised over $45m to date and processes almost $400m monthly through the platform with 750,000 orders monthly. We are headquartered in Melbourne, Australia with offices in London, United Kingdom and Auckland, New Zealand, and customers in Australia, United Kingdom, United States, Ireland and New Zealand.

About the Role

As the Onboarding Team Lead - ANZ, you’ll lead the delivery of Fresho’s customer onboarding across Australia and New Zealand - guiding businesses from signed contract to successful launch and value realisation. 🚀

You’ll manage a team of onboarding specialists and play a hands-on role in building efficient processes, delivering great customer experiences, and supporting our growing customer base across multiple markets.

We’re looking for someone who’s already led high-performing teams in a SaaS onboarding or implementation environment - someone who’s confident in scaling delivery, aligning teams to key results, and driving both customer outcomes and internal efficiency.

This is a hybrid leadership role where you’ll not only manage and scale a high-performing team - you’ll also be directly involved in customer launches, training sessions, and on-site support. If you enjoy getting in the weeds, building strong customer relationships, and seeing the impact of your work first-hand (including some travel along the way!), this role offers a rare balance of strategic leadership and rewarding execution. 🙌

If you thrive in a fast-paced, customer-centric environment and enjoy problem solving, this role offers the opportunity to make a significant impact in a growing SaaS business.

You’ll be tech-savvy and comfortable working in a high-growth, scale-up environment - you’re ok with navigating some ambiguity and remaining agile.

This role would be ideal for candidates with…

• 5-7 years in SaaS onboarding, implementation, or customer delivery

• 4-5 years of experience directly leading onboarding teams (4+ reports including Senior Team Members and other people managers)

• Demonstrated experience in scaling people, processes, and delivery as a company grows

• Strong stakeholder management experience, particularly between sales teams and onboarding teams

• Experience in roles and industries where customer enablement goes beyond digital onboarding - requiring high-touch, service-driven delivery and direct, in-person engagement during the onboarding journey

👉 While you’ll work with data and problem-solve regularly, your core focus will be on supplier-facing onboarding - it’s not a business analyst or back-office role.

Good to Know

• Salary: The base salary banding for this role is $110,000 - $126,000 (plus superannuation and Manager ESOP). Final offer and placement within the band will depend on evaluation of the candidate’s skills, experience, and overall fit for the role.

• On-Target Earnings (OTE): With a 15% performance-based incentive, the total OTE for this role ranges from $126,500 – $144,900, depending on base salary placement.

• Location: This role is based at our beautiful Melbourne HQ in Central House, South Melbourne. Our Hybrid model sees our team with the flexibility to work from home 1 day per week when not needed in-office or on-site. This is a role for someone who likes to be in office and with the team as much as possible.

• Travel/On-Site Work: Some local Melbourne, domestic, and possibly international (i.e. NZ), travel is required to support suppliers on-site during their Fresho launch - a chance to see your work in action and build real relationships. Travel cadence and duration varies depending on the project - some months may involve no travel, while others could require being onsite a few weeks in the month. Onsite dates are usually planned in advance with good lead time.

• Hours: This role requires someone with ongoing schedule flexibility. There is regular work outside of core business hours to support internal collaboration with global teams and align with supplier schedules. In the industries we service, hours can include early mornings, late evenings, or on occasion - weekends and overnight support, depending on the project and schedule. You’ll see firsthand how your work transforms businesses and lives, build relationships with passionate suppliers, and truly immerse yourself in the industry. It’s fast-paced, energising, and deeply rewarding!

What Success Looks Like in This Role

You’ll be successful if you can balance people leadership, process oversight, and cross-functional execution, while still being hands on yourself in implementations, and staying close enough to the day-to-day to influence outcomes in a meaningful way.

• A consistently high-performing team delivering supplier go-lives on time and to quality standards

• Clear ownership of onboarding key results: time-to-value, feature adoption, and satisfaction

• A culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement

• Strong forecast alignment and capacity planning with GTM partners

• Reliable handovers from Sales → Onboarding → CX

• Structured product feedback loops and ongoing process improvements

• A trusted voice in ANZ and global onboarding discussions

• Leads by example - rolling up your sleeves to support launches, training sessions, and in-field problem-solving. You drive momentum through hands-on leadership and set the bar for what good launches and onboarders look like! 🌠
