Sales Administrator

The opportunity

This is a great role for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced, commercial environment and enjoys being at the heart of a busy Sales operation. As Sales Support Administrator, you’ll play a key role in keeping deals moving, responding quickly when priorities shift, and making sure the Sales and Commercial Finance teams have exactly what they need, when they need it.

You’ll be trusted to bring structure, accuracy, and momentum to the sales process — providing proactive administrative support that helps turn opportunities into results. If you enjoy being relied upon, juggling multiple tasks, and making a visible difference every day, this role offers real impact and variety.

What you’ll be doing

  • Providing highly organised, detail‑driven administrative support for the preparation and processing of sales specifications
  • Supporting the sales invoicing process, ensuring information is accurate and completed on time
  • Maintaining and updating sales and commercial finance data across internal systems to ensure consistency and efficiency
  • Managing the internal certification and classification process, making sure all documentation is compliant and aligned
  • Handling requests for historic certification, delivering clear, timely, and accurate responses
  • Pitching in across the wider team with general administrative support as priorities shift, helping keep everything running smoothly
What we’re looking for

Essential experience and skills:
  • Previous experience in Sales or Finance administration, supporting commercial teams
  • Strong IT skills, with confident use of Microsoft Office applications
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a professional and approachable style
  • Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple tasks while maintaining accuracy under pressure
Desirable experience:

  • Experience within the marine sector and familiarity with marine terminology
  • Basic working knowledge of SAP or a similar ERP system
  • Strong numerical skills with a basic understanding of financial principles
  • Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to getting things right first time
  • A flexible, team‑first mindset with a collaborative and proactive approach
Why this role matters

The Sales Support Administrator is a vital part of the commercial engine of the business. Your work will directly support revenue generation, protect process quality, and enable Sales and Finance teams to perform at their best. You’ll be trusted, valued, and relied upon as a key contributor in a nonperforming, fast‑moving team.
