The Opportunity
We are seeking ambitious individuals who are dedicated to changing their lives over the next few years, by working in a challenging but highly rewarding sales role.

Working alongside the offices founding partners, you will play a key part in the growth of the division and this will come with all the accountability, rewards and growth opportunities you would expect. Commissions are uncapped, residual and received on every pound your portfolio makes, and those that join now should do so with the ambition of working towards an equity stake in this venture.
This is a unique opportunity to play a key role growing a new business venture, whilst benefitting from the backing and experience of an established and market leading PLC. Effort and potential are more important to us than experience, so if you’re committed, we’ll take care of the rest.

They will help you learn the business, your clientele and a range of strategies to add value to them. As you develop, your portfolio will continue to grow, and naturally your position will move further into a blend of account management and business development.
