Sales
One of the main drivers behind our global success has been the strength and commitment of our sales force. After all, we would have been unable to show the impressive growth of recent years without being able to successfully communicate just what we can do for our clients. For this reason sales and retention is seen as a strategic imperative to the organisation.
As a result, the sales function within Compass is a highly professional environment. We work to structured professional processes, rather than informal procedures. And so we look for the very best UK sales talent to join us – the levels of delivery we require ask for nothing less. Whether you join us at a junior or senior level you will be expected to interact at all levels internally and externally, with clients, operations, and suppliers. Professionalism, resilience, tenacity and influencing skills are all key attributes. In addition, delivering outstanding bids and tenders is a crucial part of our work, so experience and skills in these areas will be a big advantage.
Within an industry such as ours, which depends on reliable service over long periods, the challenge isn’t just to win new business, but also to maintain existing contracts. As a result, as well as more typical roles such as Business Development Leaders and Managers we also offer roles focusing on contract maintenance, such as Strategic Retention Partners.
Expect plenty of career potential. Once you have joined Compass Group UK you can access some of the opportunities that arise throughout the global Compass Group. In fact, progression within Sales is limited only by your ability and desire.
Typical roles we recruit for in Foodservice or Support Services are:
- Business Development Manager
- Business Development Leader
- Strategic Development Manager
- Bid Writer
- Bid Manager
