We are looking for an organised, commercially minded and proactive person to join our sales team and play an important role in supporting the day-to-day running and growth of our sales function.

We work closely with our customers to understand their businesses and provide reliable technology solutions that support their day-to-day operations and future growth.

• Carry out agreed outbound customer outreach to generate new sales opportunities.
• Support the preparation of larger proposals by developing customer-facing content and gathering pricing and technical information.
• Work with the Marketing Team and senior management on targeted lead-generation campaigns.

About the Role

This is a varied position with plenty of opportunity to develop. You will be involved in a wide range of sales activity, from handling smaller customer requirements and renewals through to supporting larger proposals and new business opportunities. You'll work closely with experienced members of the sales team, marketing, suppliers and customers, giving you the opportunity to build your commercial knowledge and take ownership of your own areas of responsibility.

This is not a traditional telesales role. While the position will involve speaking with customers, following up opportunities and carrying out some targeted outreach, the role is primarily focused on supporting and developing the wider sales function. You will not be working towards a commission-based sales target. Instead, you'll have a varied workload covering quotations, renewals, customer support, lead qualification, CRM, supplier coordination, proposals and general sales operations, with opportunities to contribute directly to new business and account growth.
