This role is suited to someone with commercial potential and a genuine interest in technology. You don't need to be an expert in simulation or have extensive sales experience.

We are open to candidates with:

• B2B sales or account management experience
• Experience selling software, CAD, engineering or technically complex products
• A recent graduate with strong commercial potential
• An aerospace, engineering or technical background looking to move into sales
• A degree in business, marketing, economics, engineering, aerospace or a related subject
• Experience or a strong interest in gaming, simulation or technology

• Company car choice
• Private medical insurance
• Pension
• 25 days' holiday
• Hybrid working
• Excellent training and development
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge simulation technology
• Exposure to high-profile aerospace, defence and space customers

During the initial training period, you will be expected to spend around 2-3 days per week in the office, with considerable flexibility once fully trained.

Once established, the role will involve a mix of home working, office-based activity, customer visits, exhibitions and events.

A full UK driving licence is required, along with eligibility to obtain the appropriate UK security clearance.
