The Opportunity

Our Sales Management Trainee opportunity is designed for individuals who want to develop commercially while working towards leadership responsibility.

You'll start by gaining hands-on experience across sales, customer engagement and campaign delivery. Alongside practical training, you'll work closely with experienced managers to develop the communication, commercial and leadership skills required to take on greater responsibility.

Progression is based on performance, consistency and development rather than simply time in the role.

• Support the delivery of sales and customer acquisition campaigns across Glasgow
• Develop sales, communication and relationship-building skills
• Learn how campaign performance, team targets and business development are managed
• Work alongside experienced leaders and receive ongoing coaching
• Take on increasing responsibility as your skills and performance develop

Who We're Looking For

You may be a recent graduate, career changer or someone with experience in:

• Sports or team environments

Previous sales or management experience is not essential. We provide the training; we're looking for the right attitude, work ethic and willingness to develop.

What We Offer

• Full training and ongoing mentorship
• Structured leadership and management development
• Clear progression opportunities
• Team-based and supportive working environment
• Opportunities for business networking, events and travel
