At Virgin Media, we’re known for our ultrafast broadband speeds. But our £13 billion telecoms network is only as important as the products and services it connects… and the customers that we encourage to use them.

So if you’re the kind of person who’d thrive on selling business solutions for a free-thinking company, then our Virgin Media graduate scheme is the ideal launchpad for a high-flying sales career.

Working in Virgin Media Business, the B2B arm of our brand, you’ll learn how to sell to all manner of business customers, from small offices to vast public sector organisations, with the emphasis on our professional services, applications and software.

What’s it all about

Over the course of the two-year scheme, you’ll rotate through our sales teams learning to sell into different sales sectors such as SME (Small to Medium Enterprise), public sector, wholesale or enterprise. Along the way, you’ll learn how to profile customers effectively, and sell them bespoke communication services that not only meet their business requirements but actually transform their organisations for the better.

Sales is a fun-loving environment, and there will be opportunities for you to forge and maintain fantastic relationships throughout your time on the scheme. All while developing the outstanding solutions sales skills you need to become a genuine master of B2B selling.

“My time on the sales scheme has given me in-depth knowledge and exposure to the various sectors of Virgin Media Business… and armed me with a transferrable skill set that has been invaluable to my current position, and future roles in my career.”

Catherine, Virgin Media Business Sales graduate

How are you going to get there?

As always in sales, personality is crucial. Our sales teams work hard and have fun while they’re at it! That’s why we look for graduates who are confident, competitive, pro-active and resilient enough to face any challenge head on.

We operate in an energetically paced digital marketplace where projects can change direction with the click of a mouse. So you need to be someone who can move with the times, even when you don’t have all the answers to hand.

Excellent communication and presentation skills are essential. And, with placements at our offices across the country, you’ll need to be flexible about your location as well. You must have a 2:1 degree or above in any discipline.

So, what can we do for you?

We offer our sales graduates great exposure to our Senior Leadership team along with opportunities to be mentored by some of the leading minds in business sales.

With that, and the rest of the extensive training and support we offer, you should expect to go a very long way during your time on the scheme. By the end it, you’ll be skilled at managing customer relations. You’ll be equipped with a complete understanding of our products and services and the differing needs of the businesses we serve. And, most importantly, you’ll be accelerating rapidly on your way to a superstar sales career.

Our business might have first burst into life in 2007, but our history is the history of phone,
TV and internet in the UK. Why? Simple. Because we’re its future. Our culture is led by ideas

looking forward and the truth is we’re just getting warmed up.
Our network may be the biggest in the UK and Europe, unrivalled for its power and speed.
But we’re not resting. We’re investing. In the network and our people. We plan to invest an
additional £40 million over the next three years to refurbish key sites and acquire new
alternative sites for our people.
Right now, our combination of voice, broadband and video products, combined with TiVo,
sets the standard in homes across the nation. The future is all about going beyond the
home, and beyond the norm. We’re going to explode the possibilities – giving people the
communication, entertainment and connectivity they want, whenever and wherever they want it.
