What The Role Involves

We're looking for a motivated and ambitious Management Trainee to join our Glasgow based team, someone who wants more than just a job, and is ready to build a career they're proud of. This is a genuine entry point into sales & marketing and leadership, with a clear, structured path forward. No prior experience or specific qualifications required, while prior leadership experience is a benefit, we invest in your development from day one.

You'll work in a client facing environment, engaging directly with customers, representing our brand, and playing an active role in team success. Through hands-on training and real mentorship from senior managers, you'll develop the skills and confidence to lead teams, manage performance, and contribute to business growth.

Requirements

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• A genuine willingness to learn and grow
• A proactive mindset - someone who takes ownership
• Comfortable and energised by customer facing work
• Experience in sales, retail, hospitality, or customer service is a bonus, not a requirement.

What We Offer

• A structured training programme in sales, business operations, and leadership development
• Real coaching and mentorship from people who've walked the path before you
• A clear, merit-based route to greater responsibility and progression
