Job description

Be the backbone of a high-performing sales team for a company that provides cutting-edge solutions to the food production, retail, logistics, and manufacturing industries.

Is this you?

You're an organized, detail-loving team player who thrives on supporting others to achieve their goals. You communicate clearly and professionally, love bringing order to complexity, and are energized by solving problems before they arise. You work independently but collaboratively, with a genuine desire to serve both your colleagues and customers equally.

What you'll be doing

You will provide first-class administrative support to a dynamic national sales team, handling everything from order processing and customer communication to backorder tracking, ERP data entry, and export coordination. You will liaise across internal departments, suppliers, and clients to ensure sales operations run smoothly from quote to final delivery. Whether resolving customer queries, managing loan equipment, or filing for audit readiness, you'll be essential to the team's ability to grow and deliver.

Where you'll be doing it

Our client, a global leader in their sector with a culture of excellence and a commitment to customer satisfaction, is dedicated to driving success in every aspect of its operations. Join a team where your contributions truly make an impact. You can be based at their head office in Lanseria, Gauteng, or at their Observatory, Cape Town branch.

What you'll need

You will bring a minimum of 5 years of experience in a similar sales or commercial administrative role, ideally in a fast-paced FMCG or fresh food-related environment. Grade 12 is required, and a qualification in sales and marketing is a plus. You are confident using ERP systems (SAP or similar), Excel, and CRM tools. You possess excellent administrative and organizational skills, strong communication (English essential, Afrikaans a bonus), high attention to detail, and a proactive, service-oriented mindset. Experience with imports and exports is advantageous.

What you'll get

In addition to a competitive salary, you'll be at the forefront of transforming export sales into Africa. As a member of their growing business, you'll contribute to their unwavering commitment to exceptional products and unparalleled customer service.
