    A ‘Business Development Graduate’ is a dynamic and exciting role within Experian. You’ll be working as part of the team which sells data quality software to a range of business-to-business clients across sectors including Retail, Finance, Gaming, Fintech, Public Sector and Utilities. The products offered help companies improve the quality of data across their organisation, enabling them to better serve their customers.

    The role

    This is a ‘hunter’ sales role within an exciting and growing area of the business, meaning that the responsibilities revolve around driving revenue by generating new leads and converting them to clients.

    Day to day as a Business Development Graduate, you will:

    • Use technologies to uncover contacts across accounts you want to target.
    • Engage with prospect clients to generate new business, ensuring that we continue to grow our client base.
    • Speak to prospect clients over the phone, via email and in-person.
    • Meet with prospect clients to uncover potential opportunities.
    • Work with wider sales and support teams, giving you the remit to build relationships and explore cross-sale opportunities.

    This is a solution selling role, which helps to ensure the correct processes are followed to provide the right fit and value to the client. This means that you must have strong problem-solving skills, as you’ll need to understand the clients’ needs, and produce an effective solution.

    Building strong client relationships is key to this role and in return, you have the amazing opportunity to genuinely impact business success.

    Our Graduate roles are permanent opportunities, and you’ll also take part in our 2 year structured Early Careers Development Programme when you join us which is packed with workshops, short-courses & online material designed to help kick-start your career.

    Our concept is simple. We believe in expanding horizons – it’s what makes Experian a global leader and a Top UK Tech Employer.

    Qualifications

    • You’ll have recently achieved or be on track to achieve a minimum 2:2 degree classification in any degree subject, and have a passion for sales, customers and people. You must be graduating in 2024 or have graduated within the last three years (2021, 2022 or 2023 graduates). 
    • We look for graduates who have excellent communication, organisation and time management skills. You will be a driven, personable individual with an ability to problem solve to provide the best outcome for our clients.
    • Due to the nature of the ‘hunter’ role, you will need to demonstrate resilience, and a self-motivation to keep going in the face of rejection.
    • Previous experience in a customer facing role is valuable but not essential. If you have a desire to learn and advance your business-to-business sales skillset, this is the role for you!
