About the Role

As Sales Executive, you will be responsible for converting inbound enquiries and allocated leads into measurable commercial outcomes while managing a structured sales pipeline across education and local authority sectors.

You’ll act as a key commercial contact for customers, owning enquiries from first contact through to quotation, follow-up and order completion.

Pipeline & CRM Management

• Maintain accurate CRM records and opportunity tracking
• Ensure all live opportunities have clear next actions
• Monitor pipeline progression and quotation ageing
• Contribute to reporting and commercial visibility

Order Processing & Commercial Governance

• Process orders compliantly and accurately
• Ensure pricing controls, approvals and documentation standards are followed
• Support smooth customer fulfilment through collaboration with internal teams

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who combines strong commercial awareness with excellent organisation and communication skills.

You may already be working in sales, internal sales, account management or commercial customer service and be ready to take ownership of a broader commercial role.

You will ideally have:

• Previous experience in sales, account management, customer service or commercial support
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A proactive and organised approach to workload management
• Good attention to detail and administrative accuracy
• Confidence using CRM systems and Microsoft 365
• Ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining customer focus
• Commercial mindset with a results-driven approach
• Experience within education, public sector procurement, technology sales or assistive technology is helpful but not essential.

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary of £30,000–£32,000
• Achievable Commission earning potential
• Quarterly company bonus scheme (£500 if company targets are achieved)
• Structured training and ongoing development
• Opportunity to work within a growing and meaningful sector
• Hybrid working arrangement (subject to business needs)
• Supportive team environment with opportunities for progression
