Responsibilities include:

• Building relationships with senior decision-makers

• Generating new business opportunities for the wider sales team
• Learning consultative sales and business development techniques

• Ongoing coaching, mentorship, and professional development
• Clear progression opportunities based on performance
• Team socials, incentives, and company events
• The opportunity to build a long-term career within a growing international organisation

What We're Looking For

We're interested in potential, attitude, and ambition rather than extensive sales experience.

Ideal candidates will be:

• Recent graduates or individuals at the beginning of their careers
• Ambitious and motivated by career progression
• Confident communicators who enjoy speaking with people
• Resilient, driven, and target-oriented
• Eager to learn and develop professionally
• Competitive with a strong work ethic
• Organised and proactive in their approach

Previous experience in customer service, hospitality, retail, sports, events, fundraising, or leadership positions is advantageous but not essential.

Please Note - This is a full-time office-based role in Penrith, requiring attendance in the office five days per week.

If you're a graduate looking for a career where your progression is based on performance, your earnings are uncapped, and your development is fully supported, we'd love to hear from you.
