Entry Level Manager

About the Opportunity

Instant Connections is looking to add an entry-level team member to its Management Development Programme. The organisation focuses on steady, people-led growth, with an emphasis on trust, clear expectations, and performance that is earned over time. This is a full-time opening for someone who wants to build a career in customer engagement, leadership, and business operations.

No prior management background is required. The key qualities are a positive attitude, consistency, and a genuine willingness to learn. Experience in customer service, retail, hospitality, or other face-to-face roles may help, but it is not mandatory. The role is designed as a growth pathway rather than a fixed position.

What You Will Do

You will gain hands-on exposure to the operational and people-focused side of campaign work, learning how performance is created and guided in real settings.

• Assist with the delivery of customer engagement and promotional campaigns
• Represent client brands in professional, trust-based conversations
• Develop and maintain strong customer relationships through in-person interaction
• Participate in structured training and coaching to speed up your development
• Contribute to team meetings and, as you progress, help with onboarding and mentoring
• Work toward defined performance targets and progression milestones
• Take on greater responsibility as your capability increases

Who This Role Suits

This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants career progression that is earned through performance rather than simply time in a role. You are likely to succeed if you communicate well, work confidently with different people, take ownership of your development, and enjoy collaborating with others.

What the Employer Offers

The business places a strong emphasis on developing people who can lead themselves first.

• Progression based on achievement rather than tenure
• Regular coaching, including one-to-one mentorship and feedback
• A supportive team culture built around accountability and development
• Performance-linked earnings that reflect contribution and results
• Recognition and rewards, including incentives and possible travel opportunities

Pay and Earning Structure

The annual on-target earnings are estimated at £36,000 to £45,000+, with uncapped earning potential. The role operates on a self-employed basis with commission-based pay, so income depends directly on performance and the value created. Everyone starts on the same footing, with the same training, expectations, and earning potential, regardless of background or previous industry experience.

Additional Information

Applicants need to be able to travel to Maidstone every day and must be ready to begin without delay. Applications are assessed continuously, and shortlisted candidates will be contacted promptly. This role is based on-site in Maidstone, Kent. The preferred start date is immediate.

If you are looking for a place to learn properly, develop steadily, and contribute to a team that values results and integrity, this could be a strong fit.
