About Ascenda Global
Ascenda Global works with established brands across sales, customer acquisition and business development, helping clients connect with customers through engaging, in-person campaigns. We're currently expanding our Glasgow team and looking for ambitious individuals who want to develop their sales, business and leadership skills through practical experience.
The Opportunity
Think of this as a career development opportunity rather than simply an entry-level job. As a Management Trainee, you'll start by learning the fundamentals of customer engagement, sales and business development before gradually taking on greater responsibility within the team. You'll receive full training, coaching and mentorship from experienced team members, giving you the opportunity to develop commercially while learning what it takes to lead people and campaigns successfully. Previous management or sales experience isn't required.
