Why you should apply?

This is an exciting opportunity to take a leading role in a fast-growing area of our business, with untapped potential and a wealth of resources at your disposal.

At Phoenix, our philosophy is simple – we aim to be the UK’s leading IT solution and managed service provider and that means we recognise that it’s our people who are the heart of everything we do.

We do this by providing the encouragement, support and skill development that you need to be the very best you can be at work. We are proud of our culture, so much so that we have developed our Culture Blueprint which you can read here.

What are we looking for?

The right person for this role will have experience in a similar position with a minimum of 5 years in IT solutions sales, ideally with exposure to hybrid transformation and ecosystem technologies. You will have a proven track record of developing and closing complex IT sales opportunities.

Key Skills:

• Exceptional relationship-building and networking skills.
• Proactive time management and prioritisation capabilities.
• A solid understanding of cloud, storage, compute, virtualisation, and digital transformation trends.

*Important* BPSS Check

As part of our recruitment process due to the nature of the work we do, all employees are required to undertake a Baseline Personal Security Standard (BPSS) check. While some employees require further security clearance, the BPSS check is a must-have requirement and all offers of employment are conditional pending the passing of this check.

Have you made it this far?

If you’re still reading, we think there’s a strong chance you might be our kind of person.

Here’s the thing, though — research suggests that 60% of women and underrepresented people might have already talked themselves out of applying. Even if you don’t check every box above, we want to encourage you to introduce yourself.

We believe a diversity of perspectives and experiences makes a team stronger — and the stronger our team, the more successful we will be.
