About the Role
A commercial career often starts with one simple ability: helping another person understand why an opportunity may be relevant to them. The strongest professionals build from there. They learn how to listen, explain value, handle uncertainty, follow through and use evidence to improve. This position offers a practical starting point for someone ready to turn communication skills into measurable business development experience.
Sage is looking for an ambitious, grounded person who enjoys working with people and wants their progress to be visible. Previous business development experience is helpful but not essential. Customer service, hospitality, retail, events, administration, sport or volunteering can all provide relevant evidence when they show initiative, resilience, and reliable communication.
