Key accounts apprentice

Want to kick-start a career in sales or account management? This apprenticeship puts you right at the heart of BSS's National Key Accounts Team, working with some of our biggest customers and learning the commercial skills that are genuinely hard to find in the industry.

What You'll Be Doing

This is a hands-on role where no two days are quite the same. You'll be supporting the Key Accounts Team across a range of tasks that give you real commercial exposure:

• Stepping in to support the internal sales team when cover is needed
• Managing backorder reports, coordinating between customers, branches, and suppliers
• Helping customers with admin queries including proof of delivery, invoice issues, and delivery enquiries
• Supporting with contract queries and margin questions
• Maintaining accurate project records for Key Accounts in Saleshub
• Enrolling onto and completing an apprenticeship LEAP course as part of your development

What We're Looking For

More than anything, we want someone with the right mindset. You'll thrive here if you:

• Communicate confidently with customers and colleagues
• Take initiative but also know when to collaborate
• Are genuinely eager to learn and build a career

IT skills and a head for spreadsheets would be useful, and any background in a commercial or customer-facing environment is a bonus, but we'll teach you what you need to know.

What's In It For You

This is a role designed to grow talent from within, and it's a genuine opportunity, not just a foot in the door. You'll develop skills in forecasting, account management, and commercial operations that BSS values highly and that are hard to come by. The goal is for you to grow into a Project Admin or Sales Negotiator role within the Key Accounts team.

If you're ambitious, curious about how business really works, and ready to get stuck in, we want to hear from you.
