Sue Ross Recruitment are currently working with a Sheffield based manufacturing company to recruit a German Speaking Sales Administrator. The main purpose of the role is to provide administrative support to the sales team, and to liaise with UK and Export customers particularly in German speaking countries.

Duties include:

* Liaising with customers in terms of their requirements and delivery requests with a particular emphasis on looking after customers in German-speaking countries
* Undertaking all required sales office administration activity e.g.:
- Order processing and progressing
- Interpreting and detailing customer specifications
- Progressing / completing enquiries towards costing

The successful candidate must speak fluent German; any other language skills are an advantage but not a requirement. The role is office based but may involve some overseas travel and attendance at trade fairs, both as visitor and exhibitor.

This opportunity would suit a recent language graduate looking to develop their career within customer service or internal sales, someone with good German language skills looking for a new career direction or a more experienced Sales Administrator currently working within the manufacturing sector.
