Ready to see what you can do? Join us as a Sales Graduate and be brave, be real, and work together with us. Understand our business, and make an impact on it, all while widening your skills and earning £35,000!
Here’s what you’ll deliver
Our scheme lasts 2-years, consisting of 3 rotations within our fast-paced, target-driven B2B organisation. You’ll experience areas of our sales divisions, working with customers in areas such as:
- SME (Small-Medium Enterprise)
- Enterprise
- Public Sector
You’ll master each of these areas, learning how to profile and tailor your approach to each customer, selling them the services that meet their needs. Learn how to drive marketing activity and content while getting to know our amazing products inside out. The customers you’ll work with are demanding, but very exciting, and you’ll have the opportunity to support them through their digital transformation using our products, ultimately improving their customers’ experience.
This scheme will kick off in Manchester for the first year, with the opportunity to work from Reading, London, Birmingham, or Manchester for the remainder of the scheme. We operate a hybrid working environment, aiming for an average of 2 to 3 days per week in the office, with strong emphasis on maintaining flexibility based on our dynamic business needs.
“One awesome part of my programme is our yearly Sales Conference. It kicks off the year by bringing everyone together to celebrate wins. It also gives us the opportunity to network with individuals from other offices, which is great for making connections!’
- Germaine Conroy, Sales graduate
