We’re searching for a Sales Manager to join a professional body in the exciting and rapidly growing field of academia.
This is a B2C role, where you’ll identify and engage with international based students who are interested in pursuing a UK accredited programme, which gives students the opportunity to progress to a full degree either in the UK with one of the businesses University partners, or online, via a top up which will also lead to a UK degree.
To start with, you’ll be the only person in this department, so being hungry and determined to build your own pipeline is a must, but you’ll also have the opportunity to recruit, develop and manage your own team when the time is right to grow the department.
A key part of this role will be to research and create business plans, detailing your route to market; so being able to identify risks, barriers to entry, costs, outreach methods required and support needed from other departments is a key requirement for this role.
It goes without saying that you’re driven, organised and dedicated to managing a busy and demanding workload, as well as having experience within the higher education sector and a genuine passion for the world of education.
You’ll have a proven track record in B2C sales, ideally in student acquisition of online programmes, and if you are fluent in other languages, this would be a huge advantage too.
You will get a salary of £45,000 and be within a commutable distance of their offices in High Wycombe or Victoria, London – although this is a hybrid role, there will be a requirement to be in the office from time to time.
We appreciate this is a tiny snapshot of what you would do, so If you are interested and want to know more, call me, send me a message (Dan Beecher on LinkedIn), DM, or whatever is easiest. We encourage anyone who feels they are suitable, to apply, we love seeing diversity in our applicants. We use specialist technology to ensure there are no gender biases in our adverts.
