As Sales Executive you'll be targeted on securing new business with organisations across the UK, selling IT solutions on behalf of our partners (Microsoft, HPE, Cisco, Dell to name a few). As you become established in the role you'll inevitably spend less time on building new business and instead focus on really enhancing those existing relationships you've built, selling more products into less clients. It truly feels like running your own business, where you get to control how much you earn and how you want to develop.

You will join our Softcat Sales Development Programme, which is designed to equip you with everything you need to become successful. The programme will accelerate your confidence in the role and support you on your journey to being an established Account Manager.

• Providing effective account management to support your customers technology strategy, implementation, and future requirements
• Collaborating with your sales team, cross-functional teams, and external partners to help develop a rich customer experience

We'd love you to have:

• Have a passion for sales and be keen to learn and develop your skill set
• Demonstrate a keen entrepreneurial flare and the desire to build your own client base from scratch
• Be a motivated self-starter, a quick learner and be highly organised
• Show an enthusiasm to learn and develop your knowledge for new and emerging technologies
• Have a high level of verbal and written communication skills
• Have the ability to build solid relationships internally and with potential new clients

We also acknowledge that the confidence gap and imposter syndrome are a real thing and can get in the way of us meeting fantastic talent, so please don't hesitate to apply – we would love to hear from you!

Work in a way that works for you

We recognise that everyone is different and that the way in which people want to work and deliver at their best is different for everyone too. In this role, we can offer the following flexible working patterns:

• Flexible working - flexibility of working from home and in the office. Please note, 3 days working in the office and 2 days working from home, there is a requirement to be in each Wednesday for vendor and inter-office team meetings
• Working flexible hours - flexing the times you start and finish during the day  
• Flexibility around school pick up and drop offs 

Working with us
