SALES ADMINISTRATOR

Fixed Term Contract (6 months initially)

Flexible Working | 2 Days Office / 3 Days Home

Are you a highly organised, detail-driven administrator looking for your next opportunity within a fast-paced, commercially focused sales environment? This is a fantastic fixed-term role for someone who thrives on keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes and wants genuine exposure to a dynamic sales team.

The Role

Reporting to an Head of Department, you'll provide vital administrative support to a busy sales team managing a major retail account. You'll sit at the heart of the commercial operation — keeping data accurate, processes on track, and the wider team firing on all cylinders.

This is a role where no two days are quite the same, and your contribution will have a direct impact on sales performance and commercial outcomes.

What You'll Be Doing

• Maintaining sales trackers, monitoring EPOS data against forecasts, and logging competitor activity
• Managing and updating promotional plans within planning tools to optimise forecast accuracy
• Validating invoices and price claims ahead of sign-off with account leads
• Completing new line forms and price change documentation as required
• Coordinating sample requests and outer case information when launching new lines
• Supporting the Marketing with purchase orders, new line set-up, and in-store activation administration
• Supporting the Category Insights team with collating key customer data for analysis
• Helping to organise customer brand days - venue liaison, samples, marketing materials
• Carrying out monthly store visits
• Providing flexible, wider support to the direct-to-retail sales team as needed

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Strong attention to detail
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint
• Excellent organisational and time management skills
• A customer-focused mindset with confident communication skills

Advantageous:

• Some experience or understanding of sales forecasting
• Previous experience in an FMCG, retail, or commercial sales environment

Why Apply?

This is a brilliant opportunity to build or develop your commercial career within a well-established, brand-led business. You'll gain exposure to retail account management, commercial finance, supply chain, and marketing - all from a central, collaborative role. The hybrid working pattern offers genuine flexibility, and on offer is a salary of 30-32k as well as good benefits, and possible extension of contract.
