Graduate Sales Executive - Technology Solutions
About the Organisation
This established software provider specialises in technology solutions for the physical commodity trading industry. Their primary offering is a sophisticated cloud-based platform that integrates ERP functionality with commodity-specific trading and risk management tools. The system supports trading firms in managing their entire operation—from contract negotiation and hedging through warehousing, logistics, customs, and financial settlement. The company's client base spans agricultural commodities, energy products, and metals trading, serving SME and mid-sized trading houses who need enterprise-grade capabilities without enterprise-scale budgets. Beyond their core platform, they also provide specialised solutions for trade finance and customs compliance, making them a comprehensive technology partner for the commodity trading ecosystem.

You'll gain exposure to international commodity markets, understand the operational challenges facing trading businesses, and develop consultative selling skills that will serve you throughout your career. Based at the company's London Bridge headquarters, you'll also travel to meet prospects, attend industry events, and experience the global nature of commodity trading firsthand.

- Genuine interest in sales, business development, or commercial roles, with hunger to build a career in B2B technology
- Strong communication skills with confidence building rapport and engaging professionals at all levels
- Analytical mindset with ability to understand complex business processes and technology solutions
- Resilience and determination—enterprise software sales involves long cycles and requires persistence
- Willingness to travel for client meetings and industry events as your role develops
- Curious and entrepreneurial attitude, comfortable in an environment where you'll shape your own success
Your package includes:
- Training salary of £40,000 during your six-month development period, with progression to £70,000 base salary upon successful completion
- Uncapped commission structure from day one of your permanent role, providing significant earnings potential
- Comprehensive on-the-job training covering product knowledge, sales methodology, and industry expertise
