About You

We are looking for someone who is customer-focused, dependable and confident dealing with people. You may already have experience in customer service, sales, retail or a similar commercial environment.

• Previous experience within customer service, sales, retail or another customer-facing environment.
• A professional and consultative approach to dealing with customers, particularly when representing established or premium brands.
• Excellent verbal, written and interpersonal communication skills.
• The confidence to communicate effectively with a wide range of customers, suppliers and internal stakeholders.
• Strong organisational skills and a methodical approach to managing tasks.
• Excellent attention to detail, particularly when handling customer and order information.
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, Word and Outlook.
• Experience using databases or business systems would be advantageous.
