Sales Order Processing Assistant

Are you a Sales Administrator with a minimum of 1 year's experience in a SOP role?
Do you live in North Manchester / Tameside?
And would you like to work for an award winning business working in the design & engineering sectors with a range of high profile, global retail, hospitality and leisure clients? But in a small, friendly team where you can develop your skills in a great environment?
My client is a privately owned design, engineering and maintenance business that has been established for many years. A market leader in their field across the UK, they have won multiple awards for their designs, quality and customer service.
The business has grown steadily over the last 5 years due to repeat business and recommendation (it supported its staff through Covid, topping up furlough and making zero redundancies) and the growth in revenue has shown up the need for a new person to join the team in a Purchase Ledger role.
Reporting to the Finance Manager, you will be responsible for all aspects of Sales Order Processing from SO confirmation to payment application preparation including:-

• Dealing with a range of contracts from £100,000 to £4 million and monthly maintenance and support contracts
• Process incoming Sales Orders with accuracy and efficiency.
• Liaise with customers to clarify order details, address inquiries, and provide exceptional service.
• Coordinate with various departments, including production and shipping, to ensure timely order fulfillment.
• Maintain accurate records of customer interactions and transactions.
• Assist in resolving any order-related issues or discrepancies.

You may not have experience in all of the above duties, but if you are someone who takes a pride in their work, has strong SOP experience and is keen to be a member of a friendly, well-established team, let us know.
It is thought a minimum of 1 year's experience would be required. You must also be a good communicator, able to prioritise & manage your work flow, and comfortable being predominantly office based while you learn the systems & processes (although hybrid working is available once you have settled in).

Experience of a larger accounting systems such as Sage 200/ 300 would be an advantage; being a decent person is essential!!
