Business Sales
This is a brand-new programme designed to put you at the heart of Sky Business Sales — a fast-growing area that delivers broadband, mobile, TV and sports packages to businesses like pubs, hotels and venues across the UK.
Over two years, you’ll rotate across different sales functions, work directly with clients, and get hands-on with commercial strategy. You’ll start with a six-month placement in Leeds, then move to a new location that fits both business needs and your preferences — with options including Manchester, London and other UK cities.
From day one, you’ll be part of a small, tight-knit graduate cohort shaping the future of Sky Business. With structured training, client interactions, and placements across different sales teams, you’ll gain experience that sets you up for a successful career in B2B sales and strategy.
