About us

We are expanding our Birmingham team and are recruiting a Leadership Development Manager to join us at the start of the year.

This role is ideal for individuals who will help support our current Direct Marketing campaigns while wanting to develop their skills in sales, business development and leadership. This is a sales-focused opportunity where you’ll receive paid training, ongoing mentoring, and a clear progression pathway based on performance and capability.

The role

From the outset, you’ll be trained to represent established UK brands in a customer-facing environment. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Communicating brand messaging clearly and professionally
  • Building strong relationships with customers face-to-face
  • Directly contributing to individual and team performance objectives

This is a hands-on entry-level role where learning happens through real experience. As your confidence and skills develop, you’ll take on more responsibility, progressing toward client account ownership and broader business development involvement.

Training & Progression

  • Foundational Training: One-to-one coaching and practical development in customer engagement and campaign execution
  • Skill Growth: Exposure to client strategy, performance analysis, and account support
  • Career Path: Clear progression into Senior Management, Client Leadership, and Long-Term Commercial Roles

Progression is based on results and capability—not length of service.

Who the role is for

This position suits ambitious, reliable, and people-focused individuals from any background. You don’t need previous industry experience—what matters most is your attitude, communication skills, and willingness to learn.

If you’re motivated, hard-working, and enjoy working with people, you’ll thrive in this environment.

Benefits

  • Guaranteed base salary with performance-based incentives
  • Monday–Friday working hours (optional evenings or weekends)
  • Paid training with ongoing mentoring and support
  • Supportive, social team culture in central Birmingham near the Mailbox
  • Transparent progression based on performance, not time served
  • This role offers a strong starting point for anyone looking to begin a long-term professional career in client development, marketing, and commercial leadership.
