Company: Distology (Hybrid – Stockport Office)
Salary: £19,500
At Distology, we're at the heart of UK cybersecurity. We connect the world's best cybersecurity vendors with the resellers and technology partners who protect businesses across the country. And now, we're looking for an AI & Business Development Apprentice to join us, learn from us, and grow with us.
This isn’t your average apprenticeship!!
Most apprentices sit in one team for a year. You'll rotate through SIX. Over 18 months, you'll spend time in every corner of our business – from closing deals to running campaigns, from building partner relationships to understanding the technical side of cybersecurity. By the time you're done, you'll know how a real tech business works from the inside out.
Your 18-Month Journey
What You'll Do
Q1 - Business Development: Learn the UK IT channel and get involved in prospecting.
Q2 - Sales Support & Renewals: See how deals get done. Support the sales team with orders, renewals, and customer comms.
Q3 - Partner Accounts: Build real relationships. Work with our reseller partners and learn what great account management looks like.
Q4 - Marketing & Alliance: Create content, support campaigns, and work with our vendor on joint marketing activities.
Q5 - Technical & Operations/Finance: Get hands‑on with product knowledge, technical pre‑sales support, and how we fulfil orders.
Q6 - Your Best Fit: Your final quarter is in the team that suits YOU best – setting you up perfectly for a permanent role.
