  • 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

Wherever you work, we want you to experience the freedom and autonomy to realise your potential. You will feel supported by a team that celebrates individuality, encourages different perspectives, and embraces every background.

Join us

To become part of the success story, please apply now

Softcat is an inclusive company where you can enjoy the career you want, without changing the person you are. We're welcoming to all and passionate about promoting greater diversity in the tech sector. 

As part of our commitment to supporting, attracting and retaining the best diverse talent, Softcat is proud to partner with organisations like WORK180, My G Work and Black Young Professionals.

That being said, as a culture-driven organisation, we believe that the genuine essence of each person is what truly matters, so we highly encourage you to be as authentically you as possible when submitting your application to showcase your true and whole self.
