Executive Summary
We're recruiting a Sales Administrator to join a busy sales support function supplying the hospitality and retail sectors. This is a genuine entry-level opportunity, built for a recent graduate with a maths, economics, or other numerate degree who wants a structured, data-driven grounding in how a sales operation actually runs, with a clear path forward into sales and account management, operations, or marketing.
You'll work inside our order processing and customer service team, learning SAP (or equivalent ERP), tracking order accuracy, and coordinating with manufacturing and logistics to keep delivery performance on target.
The Role
As a Sales Administrator, you'll sit at the centre of the order-to-delivery process — supporting (not managing) the sales administration team and gaining first-hand exposure to how data accuracy, system discipline, and cross-department coordination drive customer service performance.
Key Responsibilities
- Process customer orders accurately and on time, end-to-end from enquiry through to delivery
- Maintain accurate, up-to-date order and delivery records within SAP (or equivalent ERP system)
- Track order status and flag discrepancies, working to keep data integrity high across the system
- Coordinate with manufacturing and logistics teams to confirm delivery schedules and resolve timing issues
- Handle day-to-day customer queries professionally, escalating complex issues to senior team members
- Support reporting on order processing performance and delivery KPIs
- Contribute ideas for process improvement as you build familiarity with the systems and workflow
- Work closely with sales, operations, and customers as a key point of coordination
What We're Looking For
Essential:
- A maths, economics, or other numerate degree (or equivalent analytical background)
- Strong attention to detail and process discipline
- Comfortable working with data, systems, and structured processes
- Good written and verbal communication skills
- A proactive, customer-first mindset
- Ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines
Desirable:
- Some exposure to ERP systems (SAP or similar) — full training provided
- Interest in a long-term career in sales operations, account management, or business analytics
- Previous part-time, placement, or internship experience in an office or customer service environment
Why This Role?
- Genuine entry-level grounding — no prior sales operations experience required
- Career pathway into sales and account management, operations, or marketing
- Direct exposure to SAP/ERP systems, KPI reporting, and supply chain coordination
- Work across hospitality and retail — sectors with strong long-term demand
- Structured support from an experienced sales administration team
- £25,000 starting salary for graduates
