Campus Sales Representative- North of England

 

Palgrave is a leading global publisher of textbooks and online resources. Reporting to the UK Campus Sales Manager, we are seeking to appoint a new sales representative who will be responsible for growing our Higher Education sales in the North of England. 

The role is field based, preferably within the territory, and requires a self-motivated, organised, independent, commercially aware and confident person with strong communication and interpersonal skills. Experience of academic publishing or bookselling would be useful although not essential, and we would welcome applicants with any consultative sales background. 

Managing your own territory, you will be expected to achieve and exceed sales targets by generating new business for all areas of the Palgrave list. You will need to develop relationships with lecturers and universities, identify sales opportunities and win new textbook and digital adoptions. You will also need to maintain and develop relationships with your bookshops. You will be required to analyse sales figures, feedback and report regularly and communicate with colleagues in the sales, marketing and editorial departments on a daily basis. 

You will have the initiative to achieve your own goals and to work independently. Good time management and organisational skills are essential as are drive and the ability to achieve targets. 

This is an exciting and challenging position in a key geographical area, which will involve regular travel throughout the territory. In return, Palgrave offers a competitive salary, company car, mobile phone and bonus package. 

Applicants must have an existing right to live and work in the United Kingdom. 

Please apply by submitting your C.V, cover letter and salary expectations.
