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.

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.
