SalaryAbout Us
We have been a leading figure in publishing for more than 500 years. We have always been a forward-looking organization, maximizing the technology for the day, but the digital revolution is bringing enormous change, fast. That same spirit of adventure and entrepreneurialism is critical to our future success. In a fast-changing publishing landscape, OUP welcomes the inquisitive, the inventive, and the ambitious; people who challenge the conventional, and pioneer the possible.
About the Role
NB This is a Term Time position.
The Education Division provides digital and print resources across Secondary, Primary, Trade and Children's markets, both for the UK and for customers around the world. We are passionately committed to our mission to educate and inspire through book, board and screen.
Our mission is to partner with schools to offer bespoke integrated blended service of digital and print resources through a collaborative, consultative sales approach, enabling us to support our customers with the right selection of products and services that will enhance teaching and learning.
The Educational Consultant role is an exciting opening in our Secondary sales team. You will be working within our Secondary portfolio, with responsibility for delivering new digital and print adoptions, whilst also pursuing cross and upsell opportunities. Your customers will range from teachers through to Directors within multi academy trusts, so an ability to build relationships at all levels is key.
This is a field-based position, with most of your week being spent in the field visiting customers. Your region would be M4 Corridor and some parts of the South coast; you must be located within this area to fulfil the role successfully. There may be occasional times that require an overnight stay.
About You
You will have some digital sales experience and are now looking for the next step up. Adept at developing and managing a territory plan, you should have a natural ability to prospect, carry out a consultative sales meeting and close sales within a clearly defined timeframe. If you have knowledge of Secondary education that would be a bonus, but not essential.
Benefits
We care about work/life balance here at OUP and are open to discussing flexibility in respect of working hours and the use of technology to support regular remote working, dependent on role.
We help make your money go further by contributing to your pension up to 12%, offering loans and savings schemes through our partnership with Salary Finance, in addition to travel to work schemes and access to a wide range of local discounts.
Please see our Rewards and Recognition page for more information.
This role also comes with bonus and sales car.
