Graduate - Network Partnerships (Commercial)

Locations

Win Customers. Grow your career. Make an Impact from day one.

At InPost, we’re redefining convenience. From smart lockers to industry-leading technology, we’re changing how millions of people send, collect, and receive parcels - and we’re doing it at speed. But our success isn’t just powered by technology, it’s powered by our people.

Why Join InPost:

Joining our Network Partnerships team means becoming part of the commercial engine behind one of Europe’s largest and fastest-growing technology-led parcel locker networks.

From your first few weeks, you’ll take ownership of your own portfolio of partners, learn how to identify new opportunities and help bring new locker locations to communities across the UK.

You’ll Own it by taking responsibility for your portfolio, spotting opportunities and turning them into real partnerships.

Every partnership you build has a visible impact. You’ll be able to walk down the high street and see lockers you’ve helped secure, knowing you’ve played a part in transforming how people receive their parcels.

Alongside real responsibility, you’ll receive structured development, mentoring from experienced commercial leaders and a clear pathway into a permanent commercial, sales or account management career.

What you’ll be doing:

Throughout the programme you’ll develop commercial skills across every stage of the partnership journey, including:

  • Identifying and engaging potential partners including convenience stores, supermarkets and forecourts to grow the InPost network.
  • Dare to Disrupt by looking beyond the obvious opportunities and finding new ways to grow our network.
  • Own it by taking responsibility for your pipeline and using commercial data to prioritise opportunities and drive network growth.
  • Champion the Customer by serving as the primary point of contact for partners, addressing their needs and concerns and swiftly resolving any issues that may arise, including occasionally visiting sites where required.
  • Win together by bringing teams together including Operations, Marketing and Logistics, communicating effectively and working towards a shared goal.
  • Gain experience in business case writing and negotiating new contracts and contract renewals.
  • Build and maintain strong partner relationships, from initial contact through to onboarding and ongoing account management.
  • Use data and commercial insight to understand performance, identify opportunities and support decisions.

What we need from you:

  • A minimum 2:1 degree, in any discipline.
  • Strong communication and presentation skills.
  • Good Excel skills and confidence working with data including analysing sales, performance and locker utilisation data.
  • Excellent organisation and time management.
  • A genuine interest in commercial sales, partnerships or business development.
  • Confident building and delivering partner-facing pitches and proposals.

We'd also love to see:

  • Previous sales, retail or customer-facing experience through part-time work, placements or university societies.
  • Evidence of taking initiative, leading projects or achieving ambitious goals.
  • Experience influencing or negotiating with others, whether through work, university, volunteering or extracurricular activities.
  • Naturally confident and enjoy speaking with new people including building rapport with partners remotely not just face to face.
  • Resilient and motivated by achieving goals.
  • Curious, proactive and always looking for opportunities.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.
  • Analytical enough to use data to support commercial decisions with strong attention to detail.
  • A strong communicator who can influence, present ideas and build trust with partners.
  • Collaborative and keen to work across multiple teams to deliver results. Because at InPost, we Win together.

You don’t need previous experience in the logistics industry. We’re looking for commercial potential, curiosity and the confidence to build relationships and learn quickly.

Over two years you’ll receive:

  • Opportunities to work across Operations, Marketing and Logistics.
  • A clear pathway into a permanent commercial role.
  • Hands-on experience across business development, negotiation, account management and network growth.
  • The chance to shape the future of one of the UK’s fastest-growing businesses.
