- Proven success in retaining and growing revenue in either a business-to-business (B2B) Account Management, Sales, or similar role
- Experience achieving commercial targets and KPIs
- A consultative sales approach with an ability to build rapport and influence
- The ability to articulate a complex product offering and keep up to date with the competitor landscape

Benefits and more:
We're offering a salary between £30,000 - £40,000, dependent on experience, and a flexible benefits package to support your health and well-being. You'll have 28 days holiday per year, and that's in addition to bank holidays and half day closures on Christmas and New Year's Eve. Our Aviva pension scheme offers between 5% to 7% employer contributions depending on the percentage you choose to contribute, and we provide Bupa healthcare cover for all of our employees.
Our employee assistance programme, enhanced parental leave and share-save options and are just some of the other benefits on offer should you decide to join us.
Career development is something that we're passionate about at Auto Trader, and we all develop and learn things differently. Whether you attend an external conference, utilise a LinkedIn Learning license or choose one of our in-house masterclasses, there's something for everyone.
Connected Working:
We're offering part and full-time roles. You can share your desired workings arrangements with us at the application stage and throughout your recruitment journey. Please note, increased flexibility will be needed during our onboarding and induction period. After this initial 4 week period we would be able to support a minimum of 22 hours across 3 full days, or on a reduced hour basis across 4 or 5 working days.
Our hybrid working model, Connected Working, combines office with home working. We've split it into fixed and flexible days to help you get the best out of the working week. Everybody has two fixed office days with their team, so you will know that the rest of your team will be in on those days.
There is an expectation that everyone is, on average, in more than out; therefore, on top of your two fixed days, we should see you in the office on other flexible days. You can choose these flexible days in the office depending on your work, home and team commitments.
