Softcat Ltd : Employer profile

Company profile

Graduates keep telling us that the number-one thing they look for in a career is ‘prospects for development’. And together with outstanding training, pay and perks, and a working environment like no other, that’s exactly what we have to offer. We win big awards because of it.

But before we can put your career in the fast lane, we need to see you have the drive to succeed in sales. We need to know you will be as determined as the rest of us to support our rapid growth and make us the leading quality provider of software licensing, hardware, security and associated IT services.

We need you to unleash your oomph!

Why are we recruiting?
In just two years we have doubled our turnover and our headcount. We need to keep recruiting to support this extraordinary rate of growth. At our offices in London, Manchester and Buckinghamshire, we’re developing the most talented team of graduate IT sales executives and account managers in the country.

What does the job involve?
Selling IT. You will manage accounts, understand clients’ needs, introduce new products and deliver a first-class service. To begin with, your role will focus on business development: contacting prospects, targeting new accounts for Softcat, and following up marketing activity.

As well as having the drive to succeed, you need to be an intelligent, articulate communicator with the right to work in the UK. A university degree will stand you in good stead, but isn’t a prerequisite. You don’t need a background in IT – we’ll provide the training.

By the way, we’re also looking for graduates for engineer and consultant positions, and also for people in sales support, and administrative roles. Have a look at our website to find out what roles we have available.

What makes us different?
Softcat is an exhilarating place to work. We work very hard, but as you can see on our Facebook page, we also know how to have a good time. We take high-performing employees on holidays to places you wouldn’t normally go – Cambodia, Monaco, Antarctica...

We believe that satisfied employees make for satisfied customers, which is why we offer student loan contributions, healthcare and dental plans, a company contributory pension, half-day holidays on your birthday, lunch at exclusive restaurants, and team-building activities.

How will your career develop?
Work hard and you could quickly become a team leader, acquire general management skills and find yourself recruiting and managing your own team. The best team leaders become sales managers and look after a number of sales teams. You will take on more management duties, learn new skills and continue to manage your own set of accounts.

Our training and development manager is here to support you from day one, and future managers play a big part in your induction so you can later assess which sales team you would like to join. Our structured training programme will help you on your way, and we will support you in attaining relevant qualifications.

How much can you earn?
That’s down to you. The more you achieve, the more you earn. We offer a very competitive salary and one of the best commission structures within the industry.
