Graduate Management Trainee — Milton Keynes
Relay Direct runs face-to-face brand campaigns for established names across B2B, B2C and events. Our Graduate Management Trainee programme is built for people who want to lead a team early, and we train you for it from day one. No management experience needed — just the drive to bring people with you.
We're a team in Milton Keynes working with recognised brands. Our trainees spend their days with customers and client teams, not behind a screen, and our current Campaign Leads all started by learning on the job. You'll have a mentor, a clear plan for your first six months and published criteria showing exactly what it takes to lead your own team.
Your first 6 months
- Weeks 1–4: Work alongside an experienced Campaign Lead. Learn our clients, our customers and how great campaigns run.
- Months 2–3: Take charge of your own customer-facing campaigns with full support.
- Months 4–6: Coach new starters, report on results, and step toward your first team.
Progression is based on results and reliability, not time served.

What we're looking for
- A degree or equivalent experience in any subject (hospitality, retail, society leadership and sport all count)
- A warm, confident communicator who enjoys meeting new people
- Organised, proactive and keen to lead
