Description

Are you motivated by hitting targets? Passionate about building relationships?

As an Apprentice Sales Associate, you'll work within our 'Go-To-Market' team, who look after our business-to-business (B2B) customers. The team develops new business by expanding relationships with current clients and acquiring new clients across all sectors.

Reporting into a Sales Manager, you'll start by learning about our clients, products and services. Depending on which of our sales teams you join, you could be:

  • Speaking to clients and prospects over the phone, by email, LinkedIn, and in-person
  • Looking after an existing client portfolio; building relationships with clients and other sales teams to explore cross-sale opportunities
  • Engaging with prospect clients to develop new business, ensuring that we continue to grow our client base.

You'll join a cohesive team that works together to achieve one goal - to be number one in the industry!

Alongside your role you'll complete a 3 year Business-to-Business Sales Degree Apprenticeship with Middlesex University through blended learning. Our apprenticeships are permanent opportunities, and you'll take part in our 2 year structured Early Careers Development Programme which is packed with workshops, short-courses and online material designed to help kick-start your career.
