We’re excited to announce the launch of our Sales and Marketing Graduate Programme for 2024. This is a unique graduate scheme with the opportunity to work nationally and internationally after this time.
You will initially be working on the ground in an Account Manager role for 24 months, learning the commercial aspects of our business, before progressing on to a pathway role in Sales or Marketing, either moving into team leadership (where you’ll become part of our Emerging Leaders programme) or developing in an expert role.
Who is Hilti
Hilti is where innovation is improving productivity, safety and sustainability in the global construction industry, and beyond. Where strong customer relationships are creating solutions that build a better future. Where there is pride and a sense of belonging across our 120 locations, carrying right into our lives and homes. Where people are exploring possibilities, leveraging their potential, owning their personal development and growing lasting careers. Hilti is very proud to be ranked as the UK's 12th best large organisation to work for in the Great Place to Work survey.
What does the role involve
The Sales and Marketing Programme is a two-year scheme, where you’ll quickly be involved in the day to day running of our business, whilst at the same time gaining exposure to senior management. It will be fast paced and testing but it’s designed for you to best understand how the business works, before moving into a more senior landing role.
Throughout this two-year programme, you will be mentored by a member of our leadership team, who will work closely with you on your development. You will also have dedicated time with our HR and Learning and Development teams, to ensure you have a full range of support throughout your time on the programme and that we use your preferences and skills to help guide you to the right career path for you.
Upon successful completion of the programme, you will progress into a role in either Sales or Marketing, which could see you working as a Sales Team Leader, an International Product Manager or even a Marketing Business Partner – the possibilities are endless!
