Graduate Sales Executive

Are you a recent graduate looking to get into your first sales role? Are you passionate about theatre and the arts?

Who are we?

Digital Theatre+ is used by over 4 million students in over 3000 schools, colleges and universities around the world. Currently unrivalled in the education market sector and with ongoing investment, we are growing our sales team and operate with the spirit of a highly entrepreneurial scale up . We believe the arts are for everyone, not the few, and we want to bring live performance into every classroom and library, along with tools and content.

Although this has been a rollercoaster of a year, the EdTech industry is an expanding market and we are uniquely situated to help shape how educational institutions use technology to enhance a student’s learning experience in the digital age (both in the classroom and remotely). Digital Theatre+ has adapted particularly well to the ‘new normal’ and has introduced a hybrid remote first working model. Whilst you will have access to an office based in Manchester, you will have added flexibility to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance. We are ideally looking for this person to come into the office at least once a week. Note: We are open to candidates based in the UK and if preferred you can assess our London based office!
