London Area, United Kingdom NextPlay Sales Agency Full time £25,000 - £35,000 per year

Looking for a graduate role where you can learn fast, grow fast, and lead with confidence?

At 
Next Play
, we believe the best way to learn business is by being in it. Our 
Graduate Sales Training Programme
 is designed to take you from an ambitious graduate to a capable leader in just 
12–18 months
.

You'll build real-world commercial skills, learn how to manage people, understand how campaigns run, and get exposure to every part of how a business operates — from sales and marketing through to operations and senior management.

This is a hands-on learning environment where your growth and progress are what matter most.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Learn how to confidently present products and engage customers in-person at
    events, pop-ups, and retail spaces.
  • Work as part of a motivated team hitting sales and performance targets.
  • Develop communication, negotiation, and leadership skills through daily practical experience.
  • Support and mentor new starters as you move into leadership positions.
  • Contribute to marketing campaigns and operational planning.
  • Take part in regular workshops focused on leadership, performance, and business development.
  • Progress through structured stages — from learning sales to managing teams and eventually overseeing campaigns and operations.

What We're Looking For:

  • Graduate with a background or interest in business, management, or entrepreneurship, eager to develop commercial skills.
  • Great communication skills and a natural people-person.
  • Driven, positive, and ambitious attitude.
  • Comfortable working in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
  • Team player who's open-minded and enjoys personal growth.

Previous experience isn't required – we provide full training and ongoing mentorship.

What You'll Get:

  • A clear 12–18 month development pathway into leadership and management.
  • Ongoing sales, leadership, and operations training.
  • Regular performance-based incentives and team socials.
  • Supportive, ambitious, and fun working culture.
  • Opportunities to travel and work on nationwide campaigns.
  • A full 360° view of how a successful business operates.

If you're ready to learn quickly, develop real skills, and take your first step towards a leadership career — this is your Next Play.
