Entry Level Executive - Commercial Development

BasePoint | Full-time | London (On-site)

We're looking for confident and ambitious individuals to join our London team and develop practical experience in customer engagement, sales and commercial development.

This is an entry-level, hands‑on position for someone who enjoys working with people, is motivated by measurable results and wants to build their professional experience from the ground up.

Initial and ongoing training covers:

  • Customer engagement and professional communication
  • Sales and customer acquisition fundamentals
  • Product and campaign knowledge
  • Goal setting and performance development
  • Professional and commercial development

As your experience and performance develop, there are opportunities to take on greater responsibility and progress towards a Sales Executive position.

Your development can therefore reflect both your performance and the direction you want to take your career.

  • Customer-facing and field-based
  • Structured initial and ongoing training
  • Development towards Sales Executive responsibilities
  • Further leadership development available for those interested in that pathway
