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.

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

We're seeking an Onboarding Associate to join the Fresho ANZ Onboarding Team. In this role, you will facilitate the seamless launch of suppliers onto the
Fresho software platform
.

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, skilled at engaging with people from all backgrounds 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…

• Entry-level candidates
  with excellent digital literacy, or experience in customer-facing roles (hospitality) who are eager to grow their career in SaaS onboarding and implementation.
• Candidates who have
  already started their journey in SaaS/software onboarding,
  but are looking for
  greater career growth
• Those looking to transition
  into onboarding
  from other roles/experiences in SaaS-such as customer experience (CX), operations, or sales-and want to build deep expertise in customer delivery and implementation.

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 on offer for this role will be
  between
  $65,000–$75,000
  dependent on experience and skills (plus superannuation and ESOP)
• 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 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
• Training & Onboarding
  : You'll be fully supported during your onboarding, with guidance from our experienced Melbourne team to get you set up for success.

A glimpse into the week of a Fresho Onboarding Associate

No two days are quite the same, but here is a high level glimpse into what a week could look like…….

• Start your morning
  reviewing your onboarding pipeline - checking in with suppliers, answering launch-day questions, rescheduling a training, or nudging along a delayed data file.
• A
  new supplier lands in your queue
• just handed over from Sales. You dive into scoping: aligning with internal teams, mapping out timelines, and ensuring resourcing and priorities are set for success.
• By
  midweek, you're onsite
  at a supplier's warehouse for a planned launch - helping set up accounting integrations, resolving real-time hiccups, and delivering face-to-face training to get them confident on Fresho.
• Back online, you're
  running a remote training session
  with another customer - guiding them through data prep, platform tips, and answering questions to keep their launch moving.
• You're also
  sharing feedback
  with the Product team, collaborating cross-functionally, and practising Radical Candor - giving and receiving constructive feedback that helps each other and our product evolve.
• And of course, you'll
  celebrate wins
  in Slack , grab a
  free lunch or coffee
  as part of the perks of our office, and say hi to Norman the golden retriever when he drops by the office.
