Junior Sales Executive

An early-stage, fast-growing business in the UK’s electric fleet and solar PV sector is seeking a commercially minded Junior Sales Executive to support sales and bid activity. This is a hands-on commercial support role rather than a graduate position, working closely with senior commercial leadership on live opportunities, proposals, and tender submissions.

The role is well suited to someone at an early stage of their career who enjoys structured written work, coordination, and problem-solving. It may particularly appeal to individuals looking to transition from consulting, analysis, or similar roles into a commercial environment.

• Draft, coordinate, and manage bid responses, tenders, pre-qualification questionnaires, and commercial proposals.
• Coordinate bid inputs from internal stakeholders, managing timelines and ensuring submissions meet quality and compliance requirements.
• Maintain accurate sales pipeline data, opportunity tracking, and internal reporting.
• Conduct research into customers, markets, and upcoming commercial opportunities.
• Support the preparation of sales materials, presentations, and customer-facing documentation.

• Commercially focused, well organised, and highly self-motivated.

• Proactive, dependable, and capable of managing multiple work streams simultaneously.

This role offers a clear development pathway. In the first year, you’ll build strong commercial foundations through bid coordination, proposal ownership, and exposure to live opportunities. Over time, you’ll progress to owning smaller deals end to end, with direct customer engagement and commercial responsibility. As the business scales, there is strong potential to move into Sales Executive, Business Development, or Commercial Manager roles.
