Contract: Full-time, Permanent
Turn your technical knowledge into a commercial career
Are you a graduate qualified in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering or another relevant scientific or technical discipline, but also ambitious, outgoing and commercially minded?
Mirable Solutions is supporting a global technical consultancy and industry specialist looking for someone with the technical foundations to understand a complex proposition, combined with the grit, confidence and personality to succeed in B2B sales.
You do not need previous sales experience but rather the drive to earn performance related bonuses. You need to enjoy speaking to people, be comfortable picking up the phone, and want a career built around targets, progression and commercial success.
What's in it for you as a Graduate Sales Executive?
£32,000–£40,000 basic salary DOE
10% performance bonus
Home-based working
Private Health and Wellbeing Offering
Employer pension contributions matched up to competitive limits
A genuine route into professional B2B sales
Bespoke sales training
Ongoing coaching throughout your ramp-up
Clear progression opportunities
Exposure to complex, technically interesting customers and projects
The opportunity to use your scientific or Chemical engineering knowledge commercially
Experience within a large, established international organisation
Full B2B sales training included.
You will receive tailored B2B sales training and development from Mirable Solutions, delivered by an award-winning sales trainer with more than 20 years' B2B sales and development experience.
The programme is designed to give you the skills needed to ramp up successfully, covering areas including:
Prospecting and opening new business conversations
Sales mindset, resilience and confidence
Questioning and discovery
Running effective commercial conversations
Communicating technical value
Pipeline management and follow-up
Objection handling and closing
Account development
What is the role of a Graduate Sales Executive?
You'll join a specialist safety and technical consultancy division supporting organisations operating in complex, highly regulated and potentially high-risk environments.
The team works with customers across industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, energy and engineering, helping them understand and manage risks associated with their processes, materials and operations.
This is a genuine end-to-end (full cycle) B2B sales role. You will be expected to create conversations, build relationships, uncover opportunities and progressively take ownership of your own sales pipeline.
Your Responsibilities Will Include
Proactively contacting potential customers
Following up inbound and marketing-generated opportunities
Speaking with technical and commercial stakeholders
Re-engaging dormant and previous customers
Developing new opportunities within target accounts
Managing appropriate opportunities from first conversation through to close
Working with senior colleagues on larger or more complex opportunities
Maintaining disciplined follow-up and accurate CRM activity
What does a Graduate Sales Executive look like?
You will have a qualification in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, or another relevant scientific, engineering or technical discipline. We are looking for someone who combines technical credibility with a strong commercial personality.
You Are Likely To Be Someone Who
Has genuine drive and determination
Is naturally outgoing and enjoys speaking with new people
Is ambitious and motivated by targets and achievement
Is confident starting conversations
Has strong commercial instincts
Builds rapport quickly
Is resilient when faced with rejection or setbacks
Takes ownership of results
Is coachable and wants to develop quickly
This role will not suit someone looking to remain primarily behind the scenes in a technical capacity. Attitude, personality, commercial potential and willingness to learn matter the most.
The role is predominantly home-based, although occasional UK travel to offices, customers, and team meetings will be required.
If you have the technical background but also know you are driven, confident, commercially curious and good with people, this could be a strong opportunity to build a long-term, rewarding career in B2B sales.
