This role requires a consultative sales approach, strong relationship management, and a drive to meet and exceed targets.

Reporting to the Business Development Manager, the role will be to develop and manage employer relationships to identify and sell training solutions to achieve a minimum of 20 new starts per month across training programmes.  This involves managing a sales pipeline, CRM, and employer engagement activities to offer a consultative approach to employers and help them maximize their apprenticeship levy.  Identifying new business opportunities, attending networking events, and represent the company professionally are all part of the role as well as conducting high-level research to develop tailored sales solutions.
