Writing a compelling sales job advert can be the difference between inbox noise and high‑quality applications. In Oxfordshire’s competitive market; spanning Oxford Science Park, Milton Park and Harwell Campus, your advert needs to be clear, search‑friendly and value‑led.
Start with the right keywords
Include phrases candidates actually search for: “Sales Executive Oxford,” “Account Manager Oxfordshire,” “Business Development Manager Oxford,” “SaaS Sales Oxford,” and “Permanent sales roles Oxfordshire.” Add sector tags (biotech, SaaS, professional services) and seniority (SDR, AE, Sales Director) to improve relevance.
Structure your advert for conversions
– Headline: “Sales Executive (Hybrid, Oxford) – £35k + OTE + Progression”
– Opening hook: One sentence on purpose and impact.
– Role outcomes: 3 to 5 measurable objectives (e.g., book 20 qualified meetings/month).
– Must‑haves vs. nice‑to‑haves: Keep must‑haves short to widen the funnel.
– Compensation & benefits: Salary band, OTE transparency, hybrid policy, training.
– Call to action: One clear next step.
Example snippet
Join a fast‑growing Oxford SaaS firm as a Sales Executive. You’ll convert inbound interest from Oxford Science Park clients and drive new business across Thames Valley. £32–£38k base + uncapped OTE, hybrid (2 days Oxford), rapid progression.
Checklist
– Use “Oxford” and nearby areas (Abingdon, Bicester, Didcot) naturally.
– Add synonyms: sales roles, commercial, revenue, business development.
– Include internal links to your careers page and related roles.
Pro tip: Mirror candidate language. If top talent says “AE” not “Account Executive,” use both.
