Whether you're a recent graduate, looking for a career pivot, or simply someone with drive and potential, our Entry Level Management Trainee program is designed to equip you with the tools, experience, and mentorship to grow into a future leader.

We consult with nationally recognized brands to grow their customer base through interactive, face-to-face marketing campaigns. As a Management Trainee, you'll start at the ground level—learning how our campaigns operate—then build your way up by leading teams, managing client accounts, and shaping strategy. We promote from within, and we’re proud to say every manager at Next Target started where you are.

What You’ll Do

As an Entry Level Management Trainee, your development will span four key phases:

Sales & Brand Representation

• Learn the core of what we do: how to represent a brand with confidence and integrity
• Interact directly with customers to understand their needs and match them with the right products or services
• Contribute to team sales goals while learning customer service strategies and communication techniques

Team Development & Leadership

• Assist in training and mentoring new team members
• Develop leadership habits such as setting daily goals, offering feedback, and leading by example
• Create a positive, motivating team culture while keeping performance high

Campaign Management

• Learn how to launch and optimize client campaigns in various event settings
• Track KPIs, analyze data, and provide insights to increase performance
• Coordinate with clients and internal teams to align messaging and objectives

Business Operations

• Gain exposure to behind-the-scenes business operations: hiring, onboarding, logistics, inventory, and reporting
• Learn how to make strategic decisions that affect team outcomes and client satisfaction
• Prepare for a leadership position where you manage an entire campaign or branch location

What We’re Looking For

We don’t hire based solely on experience—we hire based on potential. We’re looking for:

• Motivated individuals with a strong desire to learn and grow
• Confident communicators who enjoy working with people
• Natural leaders or those looking to develop leadership skills
• Adaptable, goal-oriented team players
• Individuals who are coachable, ambitious, and thrive in a fast-paced environment

What You’ll Gain

• Structured Training Program focused on personal, professional, and leadership development
• One-on-One Mentorship from experienced managers who started in your shoes
• Performance-Based Promotions—advance at your own pace with no seniority blocks
• Diverse Campaign Experience across industries including telecommunications, tech, and lifestyle brands
• Supportive, Collaborative Team Environment that rewards effort and celebrates wins
• Weekly Pay + Bonus Opportunities, travel incentives, and leadership retreats
