High growth business, opportunities to learn, earn and develop your career.

Sales manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Having worked at GDS for over 5 years I have seen lots of transformation in this time, emerging from a traditional events business into a fast paced digital first organization. GDS is growing fast with 98% growth in 2021, with new product launches and initiatives across the board. I love the fast paced environment, the people right across the business and the opportunity to learn fast in an entrepreneurial environment. The people here are the biggest asset.

Cons

As with any business that has transformed and is in a high growth phase there are changes in process and structure that are required to support the business as it grows - change is not for everyone. I love to embrace change, but this is not for everyone.

Pros

This is a company with a can-do attitude, a professional approach to selling that no matter where you are in your career, you can learn and develop. Company culture and performance improvement is truly the most exciting place I have ever worked (20 year career). Highly experienced leadership and management teams, driving new product launches and remaining agile in critical moments. Sales teams incentive plans and prizes are industry leading. The business is going through a hyper growth period and it's exciting to be a part of that growth journey.

Cons

With event's it is never black and white!
