About the role

Are you a recent graduate with a passion for science and an interest in building a career in sales? We're looking for a motivated, ambitious, commercially‑minded Graduate Sales Executive to join our growing team.

You'll get hands‑on experience in both sales and technical product applications, with comprehensive training and support from industry experts.

• Working closely with internal teams to deliver a great customer experience

What great looks like

• Driven by success, hungry to build a long‑term career in sales
• Confident on the phone and building relationships from a cold start
• Resilient, organised, and genuinely target‑driven
• Curious about the technical side of the products — asks questions, wants to understand the "why"

Must have:

• Recent graduate — Science‑related degree (Chemistry, Biology, or Materials Science preferred)
• Ambitious and motivated to build a long‑term career in sales
• Confident communicator with strong relationship‑building skills
• Resilient, organised, and target‑driven

Nice to have:

• Previous outbound calling or sales experience
• Science‑related degree (Chemistry, Biology, or Materials Science preferred)

• Results — driven to hit targets

Benefits

• Salary up to £33,000, depending on experience, plus uncapped bonus scheme
• Comprehensive onboarding, training, and ongoing development
• Clear, structured career progression
• Free lunches provided
• A supportive, entrepreneurial family business
