Job description

Overview

From your very first week, you'll learn how to engage with customers and represent trusted UK brands in a professional, face-to-face setting. Your role will focus on building positive relationships, supporting client campaigns, and ensuring targets are achieved. No two days are the same - one day you may be assisting with a new campaign launch, the next you could be problem-solving with customers or reviewing performance alongside your team. As you progress, you'll take on more responsibility, moving from hands-on delivery into account management and, over time, leadership opportunities.

Responsibilities

• Initial Training: Hands-on guidance and one-to-one mentorship to build your confidence in campaign delivery and customer engagement.
• Building Expertise: As your knowledge grows, you\'ll support more complex client accounts and gain exposure to business development and strategy.
• Progression: High performers will have the opportunity to move into account management roles, with long-term routes into leadership and operational strategy.

Who Succeeds in This Role

This opportunity suits graduates and career changers from backgrounds such as retail, hospitality, customer service, or sports - but we welcome applications from anyone with strong people skills and a desire to learn. What matters most is your positive attitude, resilience, and motivation to grow.
