Sales and Marketing Assistant – Summer Temp job at Manchester Full Time NEW

Summer Temp Sales and Marketing Assistant

Manchester City Centre | £2,200/month + completion bonus | Full-time temporary position

If you’re spending summer in Manchester and want to do something more than just pay the bills, this could be worth your time. We’re hiring motivated people to join our sales and marketing team for a structured three-month placement that offers proper hands-on experience, not just admin or coffee runs.

You’ll be working alongside our business development team, meeting real customers, supporting live campaigns, and learning how a commercial consultancy actually operates. It’s designed for people who want to build skills that matter, communication, persuasion, client relationships, and commercial awareness, while earning consistently over summer. If you perform well and want to continue, there may be opportunities to stay on part-time or full-time from September.

What the summer looks like

This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be out meeting potential clients, having real conversations about what we do, identifying opportunities, and helping to grow our customer base across Manchester and the surrounding areas. You’ll also be involved in campaign planning, supporting events, tracking results, and working closely with the wider team to hit targets.

It’s fast-paced and social. You’ll get direction and support, but you’ll also have autonomy to take ownership of your own performance. Expect to build confidence quickly, get comfortable with rejection, and learn what it takes to succeed in a customer-facing commercial role.

What you’ll be doing

• Speaking with business owners and decision-makers about our marketing and consultancy services
• Identifying new business opportunities through direct outreach and networking
• Supporting the delivery of marketing campaigns and client engagement activities
• Attending team meetings, training sessions and performance reviews
• Tracking your own progress and contributing to team goals
• Building relationships with customers and maintaining a professional approach throughout
• Learning how sales pipelines, lead generation and client acquisition actually work

What you’ll gain

This role offers more than a summer salary. You’ll develop transferable skills that employers genuinely value: how to communicate with confidence, how to handle objections, how to stay resilient under pressure, and how to operate in a results-driven environment.

You’ll also gain real insight into how businesses grow, what marketing consultancy involves, and whether a career in sales, account management, business development or leadership interests you. Many people who’ve done this type of work say it changed how they approach interviews, presentations, and professional situations generally.

Who this suits

We’re looking for people who are staying in Manchester over summer and can commit to the full three months without long breaks. You might be a student between academic years, a recent graduate exploring your options, or someone early in your career wanting to try something new.

No prior sales or marketing experience is required. What matters more is that you’re personable, willing to learn, comfortable speaking to strangers, and motivated to make the most of the opportunity. If you’re someone who prefers structure, clear goals, and seeing the results of your own effort, you’ll probably enjoy this.

Hours, pay and details

Hours: Full-time, Monday to Friday, 9:30am–6:00pm
Pay: £2,200 per month, guaranteed
