Job Description:

Your first career step should give you more than a job title. At Relay Direct, you’ll gain hands-on experience working on live campaigns for recognised brands, connecting with customers and business owners, and learning how businesses attract and retain customers.

Whether your background is in university, hospitality, retail, customer service, or sport, you can bring valuable skills to the team. Graduates from any degree discipline are welcome, and previous commercial experience is not essential.

Learn Business by Doing Business

You’ll develop your skills through real-world experience, including:

  • Brand Representation: Represent client brands face-to-face at events and business locations.
  • Customer Engagement: Speak with customers and business owners to understand their needs and priorities.
  • Professional Networking: Build connections with clients, colleagues, event contacts, and business professionals.
  • Campaign Development: Share customer feedback and learn how campaign performance is measured.
  • Commercial Skills: Develop your understanding of customer behaviour, results tracking, and reporting.
  • Team Contribution: Participate in briefings, weekly reviews, and, as you progress, help welcome and support new starters.

At Relay Direct, development comes from practical experience, feedback, and taking on new responsibilities.

  • Personalised Support: Daily coaching and weekly one-to-one mentorship.
  • Performance Rewards: Uncapped earning potential, with an advertised OTE of £26,000-£30,000. Actual earnings depend on performance and are not guaranteed.
  • Travel and Events: Top performers may have opportunities to attend business events and conferences in destinations such as Lisbon, Dublin, and Manchester.
  • Career Progression: Clear progression steps as you develop your skills and demonstrate strong performance.
  • Team Culture: Social events, recognition, awards, and performance incentives.
  • Real-World Experience: Build confidence, communication skills, and commercial awareness beyond the classroom.

  • Are curious about how businesses grow and how customers make decisions.
  • Enjoy meeting people and building professional relationships.
  • Are reliable, adaptable, and open to learning.
  • Prefer an active, face-to-face environment over a desk-based role.
