Customer Support Executive in Portsmouth, Hampshire

The Company:

A global leader in high-quality, safety-critical products is looking for someone to join the UK based sales support & customer service team with a focus on supporting customers in the China & SEA region.

What the Customer Service / Customer Support Executive – Mandarin role involves:

Following changes to its international operating model, the business is expanding its UK-based support for customers across China and Southeast Asia.

Working in a fast paced and regularly changing environment you will work closely with Regional Sales Managers, Customers, and internal UK departments to resolve issues and keep orders moving. Regular overseas travel is not expected; travel would be occasional at most.
