✨ Apprentice Business & Marketing Assistant ✨

About Us 🚀

We're a dynamic commercial finance brokerage based in Bristol, specializing in finding top-tier finance solutions for businesses across the South West and expanding nationwide. Since launching in 2020, we've experienced steady growth, now a team of 9, and we're on the hunt for ambitious individuals like you to join our journey! 🌟 We're a tight-knit, fast-paced environment where your input truly matters, and as an apprentice, you'll dive headfirst into real-world sales and marketing from day one.

The Opportunity 📈

Are you confident, driven, and have a sharp business mind? We're seeking an individual like you to join our expanding team. This role is perfect for someone who has already dipped their toes into customer-facing sales and is eager to build a thriving career in sales and finance. Our business thrives on building strong relationships, spotting new opportunities, and delivering outstanding client service. This is a sales-heavy role, ideal for someone who loves connecting with people, bounces back from challenges, is highly motivated, and keen to level up their commercial skills. 🧠 We're particularly excited to hear from you if you've explored different paths and are now set on a future in sales, business development, and finance.

Your Development Journey 🎓

To kickstart your career, you'll begin with a Business Administration Level 3 apprenticeship for approximately 12-15 months. This will equip you with essential administrative, communication, and organizational skills, while also offering exposure to marketing tasks alongside your daily duties. Once you've mastered the basics, a clear pathway awaits with the Marketing Executive Level 4 apprenticeship. This means you could earn two valuable qualifications while gaining hands-on experience and growing your responsibilities within our business! 🚀
