Role Definition
Are you a recent graduate looking to build real-world experience in a fast-paced, commercial environment?
This Sales Administrator role offers an excellent opportunity to step into the heart of a leading rail technology business and gain hands-on exposure to sales operations, customer engagement, and business administration.
You’ll be working directly with the Head of Sales and the wider Sales team, supporting a variety of activities that keep the function running effectively—from organising meetings and customer visits, to coordinating reporting, producing documentation, managing SharePoint sites, and helping drive new processes (including the adoption of AI tools).
This is a temporary position, but it’s designed to be a genuine launchpad. You’ll develop core professional skills, build confidence working with senior stakeholders, and gain experience across sales, operations, and business support.
If you’re organised, proactive, confident using Microsoft Office, and keen to learn how a modern sales function operates, this role gives you the platform to grow, contribute, and develop your career.
