Job description
Love life sciences and sales but loath lab work?
Did you love what you studied but don’t necessarily want a career in it... realise that you are more target driven and looking for a more commercial role?

The harder you work the bigger the rewards. You can expect to earn £40K in your first year. The on-target earnings (OTE) is uncapped so the sky really is the limit with many exceeding the OTE within their first 12 months in Delegate Sales.
Success in the Delegate Sales Executive role can lead to progression opportunities into senior sales, management or sponsorship sales in the first 12 months of your career at Hanson Wade.
