If you're looking for an opportunity where you can develop commercial expertise, build meaningful client relationships and progress within an international business, this role offers an excellent foundation for a successful career.

We're partnering with a leading healthcare publishing and medical communications organisation that works with many of the world's largest pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. As they continue to grow, they're looking for ambitious graduates to join their commercial team and help develop new business opportunities across a specialist healthcare market.

The Role

As a Graduate Sales Executive, you'll play an integral role in driving business growth by identifying new commercial opportunities and engaging with senior decision-makers across the pharmaceutical industry.

You'll specialise within a dedicated therapy area, developing an understanding of the market, key organisations and industry developments. Working alongside experienced Sales Executives, you'll build relationships with prospective clients, generate qualified meetings and contribute to long-term commercial partnerships.

This is a consultative business development role where curiosity, relationship building and commercial awareness are just as important as achieving targets.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop new business opportunities through research, outbound calling, email campaigns and LinkedIn.
• Build relationships with senior stakeholders across pharmaceutical and healthcare organisations.
• Become a specialist within your own therapy area, developing knowledge of the market and its key players.
• Identify client challenges and introduce relevant advertising, educational and medical communication solutions.
• Generate qualified meetings and maintain a healthy pipeline of prospective clients.
• Collaborate with experienced Sales Executives to support new business acquisition and account growth.
• Maintain accurate CRM records and manage your activity effectively.

You'll be well suited to this role if you are:

• A confident communicator with strong interpersonal skills.
• Commercially minded and motivated by professional development.
• Curious, proactive and eager to learn about a specialist industry.
• Organised with excellent attention to detail.
• Resilient and comfortable working towards individual objectives.
• Positive, adaptable and keen to develop within a high-performing team.

Previous experience in sales, recruitment, customer service, fundraising, hospitality or another customer-facing role would be beneficial but is not essential, as comprehensive training will be provided.

What You'll Receive

• £30,000 basic salary.
• Uncapped commission with excellent earning potential.
• Structured onboarding and ongoing sales training.
• The opportunity to become a specialist within a dedicated healthcare therapy area.
• Exposure to globally recognised pharmaceutical and life sciences organisations.
• Regular coaching, mentoring and personalised development plans.
• A clear progression pathway into Business Development and Sales Executive positions.
• A collaborative culture that rewards initiative, performance and continuous learning.

This is an opportunity to build a long-term career within a specialist sector where you'll gain valuable commercial experience, develop industry expertise and work alongside some of the most recognised organisations in healthcare.
If you're looking for a graduate role that offers structured development, genuine progression and the opportunity to make a meaningful commercial impact, we'd love to hear from you.
