Graduate Sales Development Program

Since 1992, Ciena has been driven by a relentless pursuit of network innovation. We believe in a network that grows smarter, more agile, and more responsive every day. This means that when you digitally interact in your world - picking up the phone, streaming video, texting a friend or loved one – your interactions are being enabled by Ciena technologies. Ciena makes your social / entertainment / business existence REAL.

What are we looking for?

As a result of huge growth driven by the world shifting more and more to living & working on the move (5G, working from home etc) we want to hire a full time Graduate Sales person who ideally has graduated with a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) degree or Business degree with Engineering background within the past 2-3 years who is looking for their first or second job. You will be a h ighly motivated and ambitious person with a positive “can do” attitude. You will naturally have a problem solving & creative mentality and thrive in a team environment. You will have excellent presentation skills and previous telecommunication experience is a distinct advantage.

What will you do?

You will join our Graduate Development program which will provide you with a path towards Technical Sales excellence, while working for a company that’s leading the way for innovation. The program offers extensive networking, mentoring and coaching opportunities, and its structured learning approach includes role rotations as well as classroom-based and hands on training during which you’ll learn about Ciena’s solutions and how our organisations work together to exceed the needs of our customers.

After your development programs ends you will join our Sales team full time and support the sales process from opportunity identification through to ensuring our Ciena teams exceed our customers expectations. This dynamic role involves working very closely with our customers and all our sales support functions to build long term successful relationships with our customers.
