Job Description

The South African Graduate Development Program is designed to take graduates and develop them as leaders for the future. The program is about real responsibility and real results, while creating an environment where Graduates develop through practical learning and activity. We are currently hiring Sales Graduates who will initially be based in Johannesburg.

• The Sales Graduate Program is designed for high potential leaders of the future with the aim of developing talent from entry level and moving them to the Sales Director level in a period of 10 – 12 years.  It will support our aim to grow a large percentage of tomorrow’s top management from within.  It provides a continuous stream of talent, able to make an impact at all levels of the organisation as their careers develop.
• It is a structured flexible program that puts Graduates in the spotlight from Day 1.  We offer distinctive development assignments allowing the graduate to experience a broad spectrum of valuable Commercial experience.  Each assignment has specific on-the-job “learnings”, which are combined with formal training courses.  In addition, Graduates are expected to take on high profile projects (not always related to the assignment they are in at a particular time) to ensure visibility within the organisation. The Sales Graduates will also have exposure to brand management and will work in a marketing team for a period of 6 months in the first year.
