Checking stock availability and recommending alternatives when products are unavailable.

Monitoring customer accounts, credit limits and outstanding balances.

Working closely with sales, logistics, credit and operations teams to keep everything running smoothly.

Coordinating invoicing and helping resolve any delivery or order-related issues.

Building strong, long-term relationships with customers and key accounts.

Making proactive outbound calls to existing customers to uncover new sales opportunities.

Monitoring key customer order portfolios and identifying opportunities to grow existing accounts.

Supporting sales campaigns and helping turn customer opportunities into revenue.

Analysing sales and inventory data to identify trends, opportunities and potential risks.

Producing insightful reports to help the commercial team make informed decisions.

Working closely with senior stakeholders to support the ongoing growth of the UK business.

You’ll ideally bring:

Previous experience in a customer-facing, sales administration or commercial environment.

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

Strong attention to detail and organisational ability.

Confidence working with data and identifying trends or opportunities.

Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel.

Experience using an ERP or CRM system.

The ability to manage multiple priorities while maintaining a high level of accuracy.

The personality we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who is:

Proactive – you don’t wait to be told what to do.

Commercially minded – you naturally look for opportunities to improve sales and customer relationships.

Curious – you want to understand how things work and find better ways of doing them.

Customer-focused – you care about delivering an excellent customer experience.

Organised – you can keep multiple orders, customers and priorities moving at the same time.

Analytical – you enjoy working with numbers and turning data into useful information.

Collaborative – you’re comfortable working across different teams and building strong relationships.
