· Collaborate with marketing on campaigns, events, and promotions.
· Gain product knowledge across all company services to confidently present value to prospects.
· Contribute new ideas for sales approaches and market penetration.
Desired Skills and Knowledge:
· Ambitious and enthusiastic with a genuine interest in sales and business development.
· A self-starter who is proactive, organised, and motivated to hit targets.
· Strong communication skills — written, verbal, and digital.
· Confident using tools like LinkedIn, email, and MS Office (training provided on CRM and sales platforms).
· Resilient and adaptable — comfortable with rejection and persistent in following up leads.
· A vibrant, fun, and positive personality — someone who brings energy to the team.
What We Offer:
· Competitive apprenticeship salary with commission opportunities.
· Hybrid working (2–3 days in the London office, rest remote).
· Exposure to fast-growing sectors including AI and Cybersecurity.
