About the Business
A growing commercial property and business services provider focused on helping companies find the right environment to succeed.
They pride themselves on creating high-quality workspaces, building strong relationships and delivering an exceptional customer experience across their portfolio. As they continue to expand across the East Midlands, they are looking for an ambitious graduate keen to build a career in a fast-paced, commercial environment.
 
The Opportunity
This is an exciting entry-level role designed for a graduate looking to develop a career in sales, property or business development. As a Graduate Commercial Executive, you will take ownership of enquiries, support occupancy growth and manage client relationships across multiple sites in Leicester, Derby and Beeston.
You'll gain hands-on experience from day one, managing your own pipeline of opportunities while working closely with senior leadership, including the Sales Director and Managing Director. The role offers a strong foundation in B2B sales, with exposure to negotiation, reporting and commercial decision-making. This role offers a clear and structured pathway into more senior positions, including Senior Sales or Regional Management roles.
 
What You'll Be Doing
Your primary focus will be managing enquiries from business clients and converting them into sales. You'll handle the full sales cycle for smaller office requirements, deliver viewings and build a consistent pipeline, working towards a target of at least 4 deals per month.
Alongside this, you'll take ownership of your regional portfolio, building strong relationships with clients across your sites, acting as their main point of contact and identifying opportunities to retain and grow accounts.
You'll support occupancy and performance management by tracking key metrics such as enquiries, conversions and occupancy levels, and providing regular updates and insights to senior leadership.
The role has a practical element too, you'll ensure office spaces are well presented and ready for viewings, support client move-ins and setup and coordinate with internal teams to maintain high standards across all locations.
You will also contribute to business development activity, including managing listings, building relationships with brokers and partners, and attending networking events to generate new leads.
 
Where You'll Be Based
This is a field-based role with responsibility across multiple locations. You will primarily be based in Leicester, with regular travel to Derby and Beeston and a weekly day at the Nottingham Head Office.
We're looking for a graduate who is driven, confident and eager to build a career in property management and sales.
 
Key skills and attributes include:

• Strong communication and relationship-building ability
• A proactive and self-motivated mindset
• Good organisation and time management across multiple sites
• Commercial awareness and a results-driven approach
• Attention to detail, particularly when delivering client experience

You should be comfortable working independently, meeting new people and taking ownership of your performance. Previous sales experience is helpful but not essential, attitude and potential are more important.
