Our Client is a leading public service provider, serving thousands of people across – Europe and Australasia. Their core mission is to improve people’s lives. They work in partnership with governments, public sector organisations, private sector companies, voluntary and community groups to deliver a range of front line public services, including employment and welfare, training, education and money and legal advice.

They are currently going through an exciting time of growth within their skills business, and Apprenticeships are at the forefront of this activity. They are looking to grow their Apprenticeship training significantly which is why now is a great time to join their thriving team and be part of their continuing success!

Due to this, they have two exciting opportunities for Employer Sales Executives to join them – one based out of Darlington covering the North East, the other based out of Liverpool covering the North West where you will be responsible for developing relationships with employers to ensure on-going opportunities for their apprenticeship programme.

The role involves delivering the entire sales cycle from prospecting to researching, right through to developing a solution, executing the sale and maintaining on-going relations. Achieving predefined revenue targets, as well as identifying growth opportunities in partnerships with your employers, you will follow up sales leads, develop your own business strategy and engage employers in employing apprentices. Preparing and delivering presentations, identifying new market opportunities and being the main point of contact for your employers, you will manage any issues or queries, and develop relationships with Sector Skills Councils and other bodies.

They are looking for candidates who have recent and relevant successful sales experience. With evidence of generating employer relations and business from scratch, and being able to work towards and achieve your set targets, you will have previous experience of successfully engaging with employers, customer groups, social environment and local labour markets. Being IT literate and having Commercial and Financial acumen is key, as is the ability to achieve results through well planned delivery processes whilst having an awareness of performance impact.

Ideally, you will have previous experience of working within a fast paced recruitment agency, or commercially focussed training agency, although this is not essential. An understanding or working knowledge within the skills and training sector would be an advantage, but above all you will have the ideas along with a drive, passion, and desire to succeed.

Due to the nature of this role, travel is involved throughout the region. Therefore, a level of flexibility is required.
