• Maintain accurate CRM records and provide regular sales reporting and market updates

• Work closely with logistics, sales and customer service teams to ensure smooth order fulfillment, strong service levels and effective resolution of any issues

• Provide monthly business updates to management and stakeholders in line with agreed deadlines

The candidate

• At least three years’ experience across sales, account management, business development and client relationship management
