Job description

Birmingham, West Midlands | Full-Time | On Site

Before you can manage commercial results, you need to understand where they actually come from.

SRS Group is looking for a Commercial Management Trainee to develop from hands-on commercial experience into greater responsibility across people, campaigns and business performance.

You’ll start close to the part of the business that drives growth (customers, sales and revenue) before building a broader understanding of business development, campaign management and leadership.

This is a sales-based commercial management pathway, not a finance, procurement or office-based management position.

About SRS Group

SRS Group is a people-centric customer acquisition business based in Birmingham. We work with multinational brands across the telecoms, energy and automotive sectors to acquire new customers, strengthen market presence and deliver commercial growth. After successful expansions into Liverpool and Newcastle, our Birmingham launch is next.

Our culture combines coaching and collaboration with healthy competition and high standards. People who demonstrate strong results can earn greater responsibility as they develop.

Build Your Commercial Foundation

You’ll initially focus on:

• Sales and customer acquisition
• Building customer relationships and understanding their needs
• Representing brands across live campaigns
• Understanding revenue, targets and commercial performance
• Developing communication and negotiation skills
• Contributing to client and campaign growth

Once you’ve built that foundation, you’ll begin gaining exposure to the wider business:

• Business development and commercial growth
• Campaign planning and performance
• Coaching and developing team members
• Recruitment and onboarding
• Team leadership and goal setting
• Client objectives and business operations

The aim is to develop someone who understands how results are generated before taking responsibility for managing those results and the people behind them.

What We’re Looking For

We’re not looking for the loudest person in the room, and you don’t need previous management experience.

We’re looking for someone who is commercially curious, confident communicating with people, motivated by results and comfortable taking responsibility.

You should be coachable, resilient and genuinely interested in understanding how a business grows.

What SRS Group Offers

• One-to-one coaching and mentoring
• Structured commercial and leadership development
• Performance-based progression
• Competitive base pay and performance-based bonuses
• Car allowance opportunities
• Team socials, dinners and performance incentives
• Networking and industry events
• Company events and recognition
