Launch your career in sales with Oxford Global Resources. We’re looking for ambitious, competitive recent college graduates who are ready to learn, grow, and build a successful career in B2B sales. As a Business Development Associate (BDA), you’ll begin your career in our 8-week Oxford Sales Academy (OSA), an immersive training program designed to give you the skills, confidence, and real-world experience to succeed in sales.

You’ll learn how to build relationships, identify business opportunities, communicate with clients, and develop the core sales skills you’ll use throughout your career.

Upon successfully completing the Academy, you’ll be prepared to advance into a full-time Business Development Representative (BDR) role and take the next step in building your career at Oxford.
