As a Graduate Sales Account Handler with GM Packaging, you’ll manage and grow a varied portfolio – working with everyone from local businesses to major national and international brands.

What we’re looking for
* A recent graduate – any degree subject is welcome, as long as you are clear you want to build a career in sales and account management
* A confident communicator who enjoys connecting with people and influencing outcomes
* Organised, detail‑focused and comfortable juggling multiple priorities
* Proactive, resilient and eager to learn and develop commercially
* A team player with a strong customer and sales mindset
* Previous customer‑facing or sales experience is a bonus – but great attitude is what matters most
