Description du poste

South Norfolk Council is seeking an experienced and motivated professional to join its team on a fixed-term contract providing maternity cover. The successful candidate will support the continued development of the Council's commercial waste portfolio by promoting and selling high-quality waste services to customers across the district.

This fast-paced role requires proven sales experience, sound judgement, initiative, adaptability and strong problem-solving skills, together with excellent communication and customer service capabilities. A data-driven approach and strong analytical skills will also be essential for identifying opportunities to sustain and expand the portfolio.

You will manage customer accounts, billing, financial transactions, debt management and account adjustments to meet the needs of both customers and the service. You will also work closely with the operations team to coordinate customer deliveries and liaise with collection crews to resolve issues promptly and effectively.

The role is based within the office at Ketteringham Depot (home working is not available for this role) and involves regular liaison with customers both on and off site. The ability to travel to multiple sites during the course of duties is therefore essential.

If you thrive on challenge, adapt confidently to change and enjoy working in an environment where no two days are the same, this could be the opportunity for you.

Closing Date: 28th October 2026
