Summer Temp Sales and Marketing Assistant

Summer Temp Sales and Marketing Assistant – Gain 3 months of hands‑on work experience

Your CV will either look exactly the same in September, or it will be backed by three months of genuine commercial results and a professional network in the heart of Birmingham. While the rest of the city slows down for the summer, a small team of ambitious individuals will be developing the high‑level communication and sales skills that most people take years to acquire.

We are looking for people who want more than just a paycheck from their summer. This is an opportunity to spend twelve weeks at Sage, earning a guaranteed £400 a week plus performance incentives, and finishing the season with a £1,000 completion bonus and a serious competitive advantage over your peers.

Sage is a Birmingham‑based marketing and business consultancy. We work with brands to bridge the gap between their products and their target audience. We believe that the best way to grow a business is through authentic, human connection, and we pride ourselves on a culture that prioritises professional development and high standards.

Our Summer Sales and Marketing Assistant programme is designed to be immersive. Over a minimum of three months, you will be integrated into our front‑end operations, learning how we represent clients and drive market share. You will be part of a high‑energy team environment where the focus is on hitting targets, refining communication styles, and understanding the mechanics of the Birmingham business landscape.

• Managing face‑to‑face interactions to build brand awareness.
• Learning and applying sales techniques to meet daily and weekly goals.
• Tracking and reporting on territory performance.
• Participating in daily morning briefings and skill‑building workshops.
• Working collaboratively within a team to ensure campaign success.

This is an entry level sales and marketing experience role, but the skills you develop are universal. By the end of the summer, you will have sharpened your:

• Professional communication and public speaking skills.
• Sales fundamentals and negotiation tactics.
• Commercial awareness and marketing exposure.
• Leadership behaviours and self‑management.
• Goal setting and professional habit formation.

We do not look for a specific degree or a long list of previous roles. We look for people who are based in Birmingham or the West Midlands and are ready to work hard. You should be:

• A natural communicator who enjoys working with people.
• Ambitious and motivated by hitting targets.
• Reliable, punctual, and professional in your approach.
• Keen to learn and open to constructive feedback.
• Able to commit to a full‑time schedule for the duration of the summer.

We believe in rewarding productivity and commitment. This temporary role Birmingham offers:

• A guaranteed pay of £400 per week.
• Additional performance‑based incentives.
• A £1,000 completion bonus, payable at the end of the 3‑month period.

To qualify for the bonus, you must complete the full agreed summer period, meet clearly defined performance expectations, and have no extended periods of leave during the programme.

While this starts as a full time summer role, we are always looking for future talent. Candidates who excel during their summer contract may be offered the chance to transition into permanent full‑time or part‑time graduate opportunities and student opportunities from September onwards.

This is an on‑site role based in central Birmingham. Monday to Friday: 09:30 to 18:00. Minimum commitment: 3 months
