Graduate Business Trainee — Milton Keynes
Relay Direct is one of the UK's fast-growing face-to-face sales and marketing companies, working with prominent brands to create meaningful customer connections. This role is for an ambitious graduate — or someone with an equivalent growth mindset — who wants broad commercial exposure rather than a purely academic training scheme.
From our Milton Keynes office, you'll start in a practical customer-facing role across B2B, B2C and event campaigns, then move through clearly defined development stages as your capability grows: how customer acquisition works, how campaigns are measured, and how people development drives business growth.
Practical commercial exposure, not a classroom programme.
Progression is merit-based — attitude, work ethic and demonstrated results matter more than degree title.
What your development looks like
- Early stage: Structured training in sales, customer engagement and campaign operations. Shadow experienced team members across B2B, B2C and event settings.
- Building stage: Run your own customer conversations. Start reviewing performance data and learning how campaigns are improved.
- Growth stage: Take on coaching responsibility for new starters and begin working towards campaign coordination and team leadership.
What you'll be doing
- Gain experience across sales, customer engagement and campaign operations
- Represent client brands in B2B, B2C and event settings
- Review performance data and learn how campaigns grow
- Take part in structured business and leadership coaching
- Build towards responsibility for people, performance and campaign delivery
What we're looking for
- A recent graduate or candidate with an equivalent growth mindset
- Commercial curiosity and confidence communicating with different audiences
- Ambition, accountability and a willingness to take initiative
- Open to learning through practical, customer-facing experience
A degree is welcome but not required — attitude, work ethic and demonstrated progress are what drive advancement here.
What you get
- Performance-based earnings, realistic OTE £25,000–£30,000 (not guaranteed; depends on individual results)
- Structured training, regular workshops and one-to-one coaching
- Merit-based progression into leadership and campaign responsibility
- Recognition, team activities and travel opportunities for strong performers
The practical detail
- Full-time hours, based in Milton Keynes with campaign travel across the surrounding region
- Must have the right to work in the UK
Relay Direct Ltd welcomes applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
