Job description

Trainee Account Executive | Marketing Technology

£28,000-£33,000 Base, dependent on experience + Uncapped OTE Interested in marketing, technology and AI? Looking for a commercial career where you can be creative, build relationships and develop into a fully-fledged Account Executive?

This is a great opportunity to join a growing Marketing Technology business and learn how to sell in a way that feels personal, creative and strategic.

The Role

As a Trainee Account Executive, you’ll learn how to identify potential customers, start meaningful conversations and build relationships with key decision-makers.

This isn’t a sales role where you’ll spend your entire day making cold calls. Instead, you’ll be encouraged to think creatively about how you engage people, using a mix of:

• LinkedIn and social selling
• Personalised videos and voice notes
• Research and thoughtful prospecting
• Relationship building
• Phone conversations when they make sense

You’ll still need to be comfortable picking up the phone and speaking to people, but success here is much more about the quality of your conversations than simply how many calls you can make.

You’ll receive training to help you understand the technology, become confident speaking with clients and eventually manage your own sales opportunities from initial conversation through to close.

Who Are We Looking For?

You don’t need previous sales or technology experience.

It would be a bonus if you’ve worked in a customer-facing environment, whether that’s hospitality, retail, recruitment, customer service or something completely different, but it’s definitely not essential.

More importantly, we’re looking for someone who is:

• A natural relationship builder
• Creative and comfortable trying new approaches
• Curious and interested in marketing, technology and AI
• Confident communicating with different people
• Organised and able to manage multiple conversations
• Comfortable working towards goals and targets
• Keen to learn and open to feedback
• Ambitious and excited by long-term progression

You don’t need to be the loudest person in the room or fit the stereotypical image of a salesperson. If you’re thoughtful, personable, curious and motivated to develop, you could be a great fit.

What’s On Offer?

• Uncapped commission
• Clear progression into an Account Executive/closing role
• Full sales and product training
• Exposure to Marketing Technology, SaaS and AI
• A creative approach to sales rather than high-volume cold calling
• Ongoing coaching and development
• Supportive and collaborative team culture
• Genuine opportunity to grow your responsibilities and earnings as you develop

If you’re looking for a career that brings together people, creativity, marketing and technology, while giving you the opportunity to develop valuable commercial skills, we’d love to hear from you.
