Think Selection is delighted to be recruiting a Higher Education Sales Representative on behalf of a leading academic publisher.

This is an excellent opportunity to take responsibility for a broad territory across Northern England and Scotland, selling a respected portfolio of higher education textbooks and digital learning resources. You'll be joining an academic sales team in a varied role that combines account development, field sales and commercial responsibility across your territory.

You'll be responsible for an established portfolio of university accounts, building relationships with lecturers and library teams whilst identifying opportunities to grow sales across existing and prospective customers. Taking a consultative approach, you'll advise universities on the most appropriate print and digital resources for their courses, encouraging textbook adoption and developing long term client relationships throughout your territory.

You'll also provide market insight and customer feedback to editorial, marketing and sales colleagues, helping to inform future publishing, sales and marketing plans. As the higher education market continues to evolve, your understanding of customer requirements and emerging trends will play an important part in supporting the continued success of the publishing programme.

We're interested in hearing from candidates with previous field sales experience, ideally gained within publishing, higher education or another education related sector. We'd also welcome applications from candidates with consultative sales experience gained within educational technology, SaaS or another environment where success comes from developing client relationships and identifying commercial opportunities.

This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who enjoys developing long term client relationships, managing a successful sales territory and making a visible commercial contribution within a respected academic publishing company.

A full UK driving licence is essential. A competitive salary and benefits, plus a company car, is on offer to the successful candidate.
