Our Role

Reporting to the Head of Admissions as our Senior Sales Consultant you be responsible for answering inbound phone enquiries and convert them into fee-paying clients. You are ambitious, and motivated graduate who is personable and determined to meet your own sales targets at all costs. You'll have a practical, hands-on and flexible approach, and you'll be a great team player and happy to throw yourself into a fast-paced and pressured environment.

As part of our strategy to help more students more often, we now need some first-class individuals to help us grow. You will be responsible for closing an unending supply of leads that are fed to you by our rockstar marketing team. It is expected that this role may develop into a senior role over time within the company, and appropriate training and development will be provided throughout that time to enable you to reach this.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a positive mark on a rapidly growing company, with great scope for progression up the company ranks.

  • Communicating with the Programme Manager to ensure all won deals experience our world-renowned customer care.
  • Weekly Sales Coaching and Formal Training.
  • Contributing and implementing ideas to improve processes and systems within the sales team.

The Skills & Experience You'll Need:

  • Excellent written communication skills and a confident telephone manner.
  • Not essential but beneficial - knowledge of the education sector.
