What is the role of a Graduate Sales Executve?

You’ll join a specialist safety and technical consultancy division supporting organisations operating in complex, highly regulated and potentially high-risk environments.

The team works with customers across industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, energy and engineering, helping them understand and manage risks associated with their processes, materials and operations.

This is a genuine end-to-end (full cycle) B2B sales role.

You will be expected to create conversations, build relationships, uncover opportunities and progressively take ownership of your own sales pipeline.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Proactively contacting potential customers

• Following up inbound and marketing-generated opportunities

• Speaking with technical and commercial stakeholders

• Re-engaging dormant and previous customers

• Developing new opportunities within target accounts

• Managing appropriate opportunities from first conversation through to close

You will have a qualification in:

Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or another relevant scientific, engineering or technical discipline.

We are looking for someone who combines technical credibility with a strong commercial personality.

You are likely to be someone who:

• Has genuine drive and determination

• Is naturally outgoing and enjoys speaking with new people

• Is ambitious and motivated by targets and achievement

• Is confident starting conversations

• Has strong commercial instincts

• Builds rapport quickly

• Is resilient when faced with rejection or setbacks

• Takes ownership of results
