This is an exceptional opportunity for an aspiring, ambitious graduate or someone with a small amount of experience in the sales or commercial industry.
A new way of providing a graduate development scheme has been forged by our client - not moving you around departments to see what you enjoy the most, as this wastes time and dilutes your experience, but giving you exposure to a diverse range of responsibilities across the commercial function to directly train you into a well-rounded Commercial professional. This is a suitable foundational building block for people who may have long-term career ambitions to become a Commercial Manager, Director, and CSO.
