Sales Associate (Sports-Minded) in Hove

Location: Brighton

Full-Time | In-Person

At Apex, everything starts with a conversation. As a Sales Associate (Sports-Minded), you'll be part of a team that thrives on energy, teamwork, and personal development. This role is designed for people with a competitive mindset who enjoy being around others, setting targets, and seeing the results of their effort in real time.

You'll support live campaigns in public-facing environments, engaging people face-to-face and helping turn genuine interest into meaningful outcomes. It's a role built around communication, confidence, and consistency — with full training provided to help you succeed.

Your role is centred around supporting live campaigns in busy, high-energy environments where people skills matter most. On a typical day, you'll be positioned within a retail or event-style setting, engaging people as they pass through. The focus isn't on scripted selling — it's about reading people, starting natural conversations, and building rapport quickly.

You'll spend your time talking with individuals about the purpose behind the campaign you're representing, helping them understand why it exists and the impact it creates. You'll explain how public support plays a direct role in funding services, programmes, and long-term initiatives, using clear and relatable language.

When someone shows genuine interest, you'll guide the conversation forward — walking them through how they can get involved and what that support looks like in practice. It's important that anyone who chooses to take part does so with full clarity, so you'll take the time to explain contribution options, ongoing commitments, and supporter rights in a transparent and professional way.

Accuracy and trust are key. You'll be responsible for capturing details correctly using digital systems and ensuring every interaction reflects the professionalism of the campaign and the team.

You won't be working alone — you'll be part of a close-knit, sports-minded team. Daily briefings, shared goals, and constant feedback are part of the culture, with everyone pushing each other to improve and perform. Some days may also include supporting campaign setup, moving between locations, or helping teammates refine their approach.

The role balances competitive performance with people-first engagement, making it ideal for individuals who like to stay active, enjoy working towards targets, and want to develop transferable skills.

This is an entry-level role with a strong focus on growth. You'll receive hands-on training, ongoing coaching, and regular feedback to help you build confidence, communication skills, and leadership ability. High performers can progress into senior roles, team leadership, and campaign management.

• Full training and continuous coaching
• Clear progression and leadership opportunities
• Supportive, team-driven environment
• Performance-based culture with purpose at its core

This role is ideal for sports-minded individuals who enjoy working as part of a team, setting goals, and pushing themselves to improve. Backgrounds in sport, fitness, hospitality, retail, or customer-facing roles are helpful, but not essential — attitude and mindset matter most.
