JOB VACANCY: Junior Sales Executive

Launch Your Career in Technical Textiles with a Global Innovator!

Are you ready to dive into an exciting, future-focused industry? One of the Textile Centre of Excellence’s leading member companies is on the lookout for a driven and enthusiastic individual to join their UK sales team.

This isn’t just another job—it’s your chance to join a respected global manufacturer that’s shaping the future of technical textiles across automotive, defence, construction, and healthcare industries.

 

Why This Role Stands Out:

This is a golden opportunity for someone at the early stage of their career to step into a role packed with potential. You’ll gain hands-on experience, grow into a confident sales professional, and receive top-tier training—including a fully funded ‘Product Technologist’ course at the Textile Centre of Excellence. And the adventure doesn’t stop there—you’ll travel across the UK and beyond, meeting clients, attending trade shows, and experiencing how innovation happens on a global stage.

 

What You’ll Get:

  • £25,000 – £30,000 salary (based on experience)
  • 32 days holiday (with increases for service)
  • 5% matched pension
  • Hybrid/flexible working options
  • Ongoing training & funded professional qualifications
  • UK and international travel opportunities
  • Employee Assistance Programme

 

Your Role:

  • Manage and grow relationships with key clients
  • Identify and develop new business opportunities
  • Get hands-on with cutting-edge textile products
  • Hit sales targets and help shape the company’s growth
  • Attend industry events and trade shows at home and abroad
  • Work closely with commercial and technical teams to deliver real impact

 

About You:

  • A degree in textiles, materials science, engineering—or similar (preferred)
  • 1–3 years in sales or a customer-facing role
  • Passionate about innovation, products, and people
  • A confident communicator with a full UK driving licence (essential)

 

Ready to join an exciting, fast-paced industry and be part of something big?
This is your chance to learn, grow, and thrive with a company that’s making a difference in technical textiles—backed by the support and training of the Textile Centre of Excellence.
