About SYMPLY

SYMPLY is a Cambridge-based technology brand developing professional storage, data management and workflow solutions for customers around the world.

Our products are used across a wide range of markets, including media and entertainment, broadcast, post-production, education, research, healthcare, creative technology, enterprise IT and other data-intensive industries.

We are a growing international brand with customers, distributors and partners across the UK, France, mainland Europe, Scandinavia, Southern Europe, North America and other global markets.

As we continue to expand, we are looking for a fluent English and French-speaking graduate to join our commercial team.

This is not just a traditional sales role. It is an opportunity to become part of a small, ambitious team where your ideas, energy and customer insight can help shape how the SYMPLY brand grows internationally.

The Role

As a Graduate International Sales & Market Development Executive, you will support and develop customer and partner relationships across international markets, with a particular focus on French-speaking territories.

You will be involved in the full commercial process, from identifying opportunities and engaging with customers, through to preparing quotations, processing orders, supporting distributors and feeding market insight back into the business.

This is a hands-on role in a growing company. You will gain direct experience in sales, customer engagement, order administration, marketing, product feedback, international trade and brand development.

You will work closely with our sales, marketing, technical and operations teams, giving you broad exposure to how an international technology business works.

Key Responsibilities

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing relationships with customers, distributors and resellers across France, the UK and wider European markets.
• Supporting new business development by identifying and following up commercial opportunities.
• Communicating with customers by phone, email, video call and in person.
• Preparing quotations and following up on sales enquiries.
• Processing customer orders accurately and coordinating with internal teams to ensure smooth delivery.
• Supporting day-to-day sales administration, including CRM updates, customer records, order information and follow-up tasks.
• Helping customers understand SYMPLY products and how they can be used in different markets.
• Gathering customer and market feedback to help improve our marketing, messaging and future product development.
• Working with the marketing team to support campaigns, events, product launches and territory-specific activity.
• Representing SYMPLY at trade shows, customer meetings and industry events.
• Researching new vertical markets and identifying potential customers, partners and opportunities.
• Helping elevate the SYMPLY brand across multiple industries and territories.

What Makes This Role Different?

Many graduate roles place you into a narrow department with limited influence.

At SYMPLY, you will be part of a highly experienced team where you can contribute across different areas of the business.

You will learn how customers think, how markets develop, how products are positioned, how feedback influences future development and how an international technology brand grows.

We want someone who can bring their own skills, studies and ideas into the role. Whether your background is in languages, business, marketing, engineering, economics, media, technology or another discipline, we want you to apply what you have learned and help us build something exceptional.

This is a role for someone who wants responsibility, variety and the opportunity to make a visible difference.

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

• Fluent in written and spoken English and French.
• A recent graduate, or graduating soon, ideally with a degree in a relevant subject.
• Confident speaking with customers and building relationships.
• Commercially minded, organised and motivated.
• Interested in technology, international business and brand development.
• Comfortable working across both sales and administrative tasks.
• Accurate and detail-focused when processing orders and customer information.
• Curious about different markets and how customers use technology.
• Able to communicate clearly with people from different countries and cultures.
• Positive, proactive and willing to learn.
• Comfortable working as part of a small team where everyone gets involved.
• Willing to travel occasionally for customer meetings, partner visits and trade shows.

Useful Degree Backgrounds

We welcome applications from a wide range of degree backgrounds, including:

• Modern Languages
• French
• Business
• International Business
• Marketing
• Economics
• Media
• Engineering
• Computer Science
• Technology-related subjects
• Humanities or social sciences with strong communication skills

We are more interested in attitude, communication skills, curiosity and potential than a specific degree title.

What We Offer

• A varied graduate role with real responsibility from an early stage.
• Training and mentoring from experienced commercial and technical teams.
• Exposure to international customers, distributors and markets.
• Opportunity to work across sales, marketing, product feedback and operations.
• International travel opportunities.
• Career progression as the brand grows.
• A friendly, ambitious and supportive team environment.
• The chance to help build and develop an international Cambridge technology brand.

Why Join SYMPLY?

This is an opportunity to do more than simply take a job.

You will help develop customer relationships, support international sales, contribute ideas to marketing, provide feedback that can influence future products and help grow the SYMPLY brand across different markets.

If you are fluent in English and French, enjoy working with people, are curious about technology and want a role where you can make a real contribution, we would like to hear from you.
