The role

Looking for your next move in sales? Come and meet LOCALiQ.

We're growing our sales teams and looking for ambitious, commercially minded salespeople to join LOCALiQ across Swindon, Wiltshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

We're holding a Sales Open Day in Swindon, giving you the chance to meet the team, find out more about LOCALiQ and explore the range of opportunities available across our digital, field and telephone sales teams.

Whether your background is in new business, telephone sales, field sales, account management, media or digital advertising, we're interested in hearing from you.

Our sales teams work with local businesses, helping them reach new customers through advertising and digital marketing solutions. Depending on the opportunity, you could be developing new business over the phone, meeting customers face-to-face, managing and growing accounts, or providing consultative digital advertising solutions.

Our digital and field-based opportunities are hybrid, combining home working, time at our Swindon hub and customer meetings across the region. For these roles, you'll need a full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle for work-related travel.

Our telephone sales opportunities are office-based in Swindon, working alongside our established sales teams.

Apply today to register your interest in our Swindon Sales Open Day and discover which LOCALiQ sales opportunity could be right for you.
