Current vacancy - Sales executive
GWI is the leading market researcher for the international water market. We produce reports, databases, and monthly/weekly publications for professionals in the industry.
We’re a rapidly growing company. There’s great upward mobility potential for those who work hard. We have a small sales team at our Oxford office of about 10 people who are very friendly, ambitious, and independently motivated.

We’re looking for a sales executive to work in our central Oxford office. You’ll be calling business people from companies around the world who work in the water industry. You’ll be selling them products specific for professionals within the water industry.
Your primary duty will be making phone calls and writing emails. You’ll need to maintain and organize sales leads, to gain the maximum benefit from each opportunity. The role is a part time position approximately 20-30hrs per week. Our regular office hours are 9am-6pm Monday to Friday, though you may from time to time be required to come in earlier or stay later. Starting pay is £8.50 per hour plus excellent commission.

- positive and motivated to persistently make calls
- comfortable working with a wide range of people and tasks
- able to enjoy working as part of a small team but also confident working independently
