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. You will initially sell to our smaller Education accounts whilst you learn the ropes, and when you are ready, you will graduate from the programme and join a dedicated vertical team of your choice (Higher Education, Local Government, Police, Defence, Healthcare etc) Here you will begin to focus on fewer and larger accounts and really build up your specialist knowledge.

As a Public Sector Sales Executive, you will be responsible for:

• 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

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:

• Hybrid working - 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home
