Permanent position
Based in Hertford SG13
IT Luggage Limited, founded in 1985, is an award winning innovative luggage and travel goods business with offices in UK, US, Australia, Hong Kong and China. They are looking for someone to join their team, who has high level mathematics/numeracy skills and a logical approach.
This is not a traditional administrative role as must be able to demonstrate the hunger and curiosity to succeed in a role where negotiating with their suppliers is key to success.
The role will involve reviewing and analysing the details of new sales orders and creating a negotiation strategy to ensure best possible commercial terms and prices, whilst maintaining excellent relationships with suppliers. There may also be the opportunity to travel to the far east.
The ability to analyse information quickly and to work under pressure in a fast-paced and busy environment are essential. You must be highly organised and able to use MS Office packages, especially Excel and Outlook and manage a high volume of emails to negotiate with our client’s China colleagues and suppliers.
As part of the interview process candidates will be required to complete tests to demonstrate their ability to do complex mathematical calculations, including profit margin & currency conversion.
This is a growing company with the opportunity for progression. To apply please submit your CV & salary expectations ASAP.
Closing date: Sunday 18 June 2017
