This is not strictly a behind-the-scenes administrative role.

• Maintain professional communication with customers, vendors, program partners, and senior-level contacts.


• Coordinate and schedule meetings between the sales team, customers, vendors, and GPO partners.


• Attend APS and GPO meetings as well as applicable vendor training sessions.

CRM & Data Management

• Learn and utilize Zoho CRM daily.


• Enter all APS Action Alerts into Zoho as leads.


• Create and maintain accurate customer and contact information within Zoho.


• Update CRM notes, activities, and other information as requested by the sales team.


• Work closely with sales representatives to ensure opportunities contain accurate project, pipeline, and forecast information.


• Maintain CRM data integrity by routinely reviewing and updating records.


• Assist with creating and maintaining Zoho reports, graphs, and sales data used during sales meetings.


• Work closely with internal leadership to ensure sales reporting is accurate, current, and presentation-ready.

Systems & Administrative Support

• Learn and utilize Infor (CSD) as part of daily responsibilities.


• Use Microsoft Excel and the broader Microsoft Office suite to organize, analyze, maintain, and present sales-related information.


• Maintain organized records, schedules, customer information, and sales documentation.


• Stay informed on current promotions and program details to effectively support the sales team and customer inquiries.


• Assist with additional sales administration projects and responsibilities as business needs arise.

Qualifications

• High level of proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Office.


• Strong ability and willingness to learn new software, including CRM and ERP platforms.
