Build the pipeline, lead the conversation and close the deal. If you enjoy taking a new business opportunity from first approach to signed agreement, this role gives you ownership of that process and commission linked to the sales you deliver.

At Working Futures, you’ll sell commercial partnership opportunities to suppliers who want to connect with senior HR and People decision makers. You’ll draw on a substantial data pool built over 14 years while generating and developing opportunities through your own prospecting.

You’ll report to the supplier team leader and take ownership of the full sales cycle.

What you’ll bring

B2B sales experience that includes personally winning new customers.

Confidence speaking with senior decision makers and explaining commercial value.

Practical CRM experience and an organised approach to follow-up.

The initiative to work independently, adapt your approach and keep opportunities moving.
