This is your chance to start a career in Sales at the biggest food and beverage manufacturer in the world—you won’t find many sales graduate schemes with a USP like that.
Size isn’t everything, though. Our products are loved for their individuality. In that respect, they’re just like the sales teams who take them to market. It’s something we encourage here. Bring your true self to work and we’ll help you find a career path that will allow your individual talents to thrive.
Come join our Graduate Scheme and get the training you need to accelerate your career in Sales and as a future business leader.
What the Sales Graduate Scheme entails
Based at a Nestlé Academy site (with hybrid/remote working options available) in either York or Gatwick, you’ll spend your time working with iconic brands like KitKat, Quality Street, Nescafé, Shreddies and Felix
You’ll join a large, cross functional Graduate cohort and rotate through various sales roles to help you develop a comprehensive understanding of how we operate and, while you’re at it, find out where you fit into it. With the mentorship of our experts, you’ll take on live projects and deliver work that will have a real impact on our business.
We’ll always encourage you to contribute and develop your own ideas. So if you’re particularly passionate about a topic (e.g. diversity & inclusion, sustainability or mental wellbeing), we’d love to hear how you would drive positive business change.
Who is eligible for the Sales Graduate Scheme?
Yes, you will—of course—need a degree. The subject, grade or where it was attained aren’t as important, however, as the skills you’ll have developed while studying—things like analytical thinking, creativity and commercial awareness. We also want to see that you are 100% committed to your chosen career path.
What will I get out of a Nestlé Graduate Scheme?
Well, for starters, you’ll get a competitive salary plus benefits including 25 days annual leave plus 12 flex days. Then there’s two volunteering days per annum, which you can spend giving hands on support to causes important to you.
Joining Nestlé is a chance to train with an undisputable world-leader but also, because we align our commercial goals with social responsibilities like healthier eating and helping the environment, it also allows you to Create Shared Value (CSV) with the work you do. It means making a positive difference in the wider world and it’s another reason to feel great about the career you’ve chosen.
What is Sales at Nestlé?
Sales at Nestlé means owning and leading a Commercial business with your customers. Once you complete the Graduate Scheme, you will have the fundamental skills required for FMCG account management; you will be the face of Nestlé in your customers. You will gain experience delivering commercial presentations, business planning & reporting, relationship management, forecasting, effective selling, negotiating & joint business planning. You will educate the Nestlé business about your customers strategy so we can jointly build plans to deliver growth, which you will then execute with your customer. A career in Sales Account Management at Nestlé is exciting, fast paced and varied, filled with opportunities to lead and make a difference.
